This may be a 'naive idea' but would it be possible to have an argument that makes Ctrl-C (or something) works Case in point: things that take a long time to (or will never) timeout. Supppose someone is booting from NFS and the server is down, or changed ip. Murphy says you're going to forget to change it until you're there waiting for it. Or maybe it's something else that's problematic and you want to debug. Just an idea.
