EOF_ABORTS

This configuration variable can be used to handle two unexpected loop conditions:

1. a loop that results when the runtime has been started with -i and an input file terminates prematurely.
2. a loop that results when a terminal emulator disconnects unexpectedly.

If the runtime is started with the -i option and a loop occurs when an input file terminates prematurely, you can set EOF_ABORTS to 1 (on, true, yes) to cause the runtime to shut down when an ACCEPT statement detects an end-of-file condition.

On UNIX/Linux systems, if the runtime enters a loop due to an unexpected disconnect from a terminal emulator, you can set EOF_ABORTS to a value of 2 to cause the runtime to generate a hangup signal (SIGHUP) when it detects an EOF on standard input (stdin).

The default value is 0 (off, false, no).
