You have two ways to stop a computation:
  1) The scissors kill the connection (SIGKILL)
  2) The stop button interrupts execution (SIGINT)
It is up to your plug-in to correctly deal with SIGINT events.
Unfortunately, only few plug-ins do this at the moment,
but the mechanism is supported on the TeXmacs side.

And yes, sessions are automatically restarted when the connection died.
The only missing thing (but to come soon, I hope) is to re-evaluate all
inputs of a given worksheet.
