Is rserve interrupt working for Windows?

[maxyeg]

Hi!
I'd like to confirm if rserve can be interrupted(not killed) in windows properly.
I've searched your repository for SIGINT occurrences and see some expressions like #ifdef unix.
I'm not sure but maybe rserve won't handle SIGINT in windows?

I start rserve by run.Rserve(...) and it will be interrupted in unix if needed using: kill -SIGINT pid.

Windows doesn't support unix signals. I'm not aware of a corresponding facility on Windows. Their idea of "signals" is intra-process only. There are ways in which you can enter R on idle (e.g. by running a parallel thread with its own window context and issuing a Win32 message - see the background package), but have not tried to use it for this purpose. Given how of little use and limited is Windows with R computing, Rserve doesn't try to implement anything Windows-specific in this regard.
