Interactive Control of NONMEM runs

Hello everyone, In the NONMEM 7.2 guide, I found this interesting section: > I.11 Interactive Control of a NONMEM batch Program > > A NONMEM run can now be controlled to some extent from the console by issuing certain > > control characters. > > Console iteration printing on/off during any Estimation analysis (ctrl-J from console NONMEM, > > Iterations button from PDx-POP). > > Exit analysis at any time, which completes its output, and goes on to next mode or estimation > > method (ctrl-K from console, or Next button in PDx-POP). > Exit program gracefully at any time (ctrl-E or Stop button). > > Monitor the progress of each individual during an estimation by toggling ctrl-T. Wait 15 seconds or more to observe a subject’s ID, and individual objective function value. It is also good to test that the problem did not hang if a console output had not been observed for a long > > while. It seems like there is a feature to interact with a NONMEM run and interrupt it but still get the results in a neat way, which would be very useful, especially with long runs. I've tried using CTRL+K, but I had no luck. I am using the execute script of Perl Speaks NONMEM to run my models, so maybe console commands (except CTRL+C) get filtered away. Any experience from anybody in the group? Is this feature working when running NONMEM directly, without a wrapper like PSN? Any workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
