Abstract
Most time-sharing systems are based on the concept of interrupts. In this chapter we describe the best examples of such operating systems which are the classic UNIX systems (Unix Sixth Edition AT & T [43], the Berkeley BSD 4.2 [54]) and the Network Operating Systems (VMS 1.0+ [33], BSD 4.2+ [54], Windows NT [65] and Linux [7]).
