Specify the list of signal names.

Mandatory arguments:

listof Keyword name

The list of signal names.

Example:

The following example defines three signals that can be used by scheduling scripts.

 add_signals {quit, skip, ready}

Context:

This command is intended for use in the cbicontrol startup script $CBI_DIR/cbicontrol.init. It defines the names that are acceptable as values of the Signal datatype.

Although the add_signals command is only intended to be used from the cbicontrol startup script, it can be also be used after this point to add to the list of recognized signals. You could do this if you wanted to add a signal without having to restart the control program.

The uses of the signal names that this command establishes are described in the documentation of the signal command.
