Currently, the work-around is to run NONMEM directly. However, it is theoretically possible to look at the execute code and add a patch that monitors key behaviors(via Perl's ReadKey) http://search.cpan.org/dist/TermReadKey/ReadKey.pm You just need to figure out what the control characters are: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=710306.

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.
