Lisa Compact 49
ยท
If the Lisa performs a content update in the background, the content update is not interrupted, except
when the Lisa is powered off or rebooted (note that some commands do this!)
The nature of the interruption by the task on the on-going process depends on the exact combination of
the task and the current state or on-going process of the Lisa. The exact effects are detailed in the
following table. The first column describes the task, the second column presents the actual task
commands, the remaining columns represent the current state or on-going process of the Lisa, the rows
represent a task being 'fired'. The resulting action is described in the various cells.
