Abstract
A local application connected to a remote application over a computer network can interrupt processing of the remote application. To do so, a new communications link is opened, and an identifier of the remote process to be interrupted is passed to the remote node. The new communications link is then closed. A manager process on the remote node raises the interrupt to the desired remote application, which returns acknowledgement of the interrupt over the original connection.
