Hello,

Using poudriere, what I'm always missing are two features:

- halting the builders, i.e. they should not pick-up new jobs, just
  finish the current job;

- the 2nd one is more at OS level: in GOT(*) computers like the /360
  have had a red button to pause all execution, (look into registers,
  modify, etc,) and resume the execution again at the point of interrupt;
  do we have this in FreeBSD?

Do you need a use case for the 2nd missing feature?

Thx

	matthias
