Specific examples include: In the Microsoft Windows and ReactOS [2] command-line interfaces, the timeout command pauses the command processor for the specified number of seconds. [3] [4] In POP connections, the server will usually close a client connection after a certain period of inactivity (the timeout period). This ensures that connections ...
Upon discovery of a failed test, the computer may attempt to perform a sequence of corrective actions under software control, culminating with a software-initiated reboot. If the software fails to invoke a reboot, the hardware watchdog timer — if available — will timeout and invoke a hardware reset.
Selenium Grid is a server that allows tests to use web browser instances running on remote machines. With Selenium Grid, one server acts as the central hub. Tests contact the hub to obtain access to browser instances. The hub has a list of servers that provide access to browser instances (WebDriver nodes), and lets tests use these instances.
Timeout Detection and Recovery or TDR is a feature of the Windows operating system (OS) introduced in Windows Vista. It detects response problems from a graphics card (GPU), and if a timeout occurs, the OS will attempt a card reset to recover a functional and responsive desktop environment .
Connection termination Detailed TCP close() sequence diagram. The connection termination phase uses a four-way handshake, with each side of the connection terminating independently. When an endpoint wishes to stop its half of the connection, it transmits a FIN packet, which the other end acknowledges with an ACK.
For example, in the x86 architecture, asserting the RESET line halts the CPU; this is done after the system is switched on and before the power supply has asserted "power good" to indicate that it is ready to supply stable voltages at sufficient power levels. [2] Reset places less stress on the hardware than power cycling, as the power is not ...
On an IBM mainframe, a power-on reset (POR) is a sequence of actions that the processor performs either due to a POR request from the operator or as part of turning on power. The operator requests a POR for configuration changes that cannot be recognized by a simple System Reset .
The first use of a time bomb in software may have been in 1979 with the Scribe markup language and word processing system, developed by Brian Reid.Reid sold Scribe to a software company called Unilogic (later renamed Scribe Systems [2]), and agreed to insert a set of time-dependent functions (called "time bombs") that would deactivate freely copied versions of the program after a 90-day ...
