In general, when an error occurs you should hit return to see if
LATEX will keep on going, or enter
x
to exit.
If LATEX is asking for a filename, Control-D
will help exit
LATEX.
If x
, ^C
, and ^D
do not return you to your
athena%
prompt, type
^Z
. In order to kill the stopped process you need
to do the following (assuming that you use csh or one of its descendants):
athena% kill %latex athena% [1] + Terminated latex athena%By hitting <return> when you get your prompt back you should get the message that LATEX was indeed killed. For more information about processes and how to control them see More Unix: the C-shell available from Athena.
