Can you control a lava runtime from inside or outside of the simulation based on internal variables?

Hi,

Is it possible to pause or stop the runtime of a Lava runtime from within a process.

I am currently running the simulation in the RunContinuous() mode with a long sleep function between the start() and stop() functions. As the time of my simulation will be variable, I cannot use the RunSteps() mode and cannot tune the sleep function as the simulation time will vary greatly.

Alternatively, between the start() and stop() functions, can I poll the state of a variable and stop() the simulation based on this? The Monitor class requires that I input a number of time steps to monitor for, this again is variable based on the simulation length.

What I want to do is pause or stop the runtime based on an internal Var within one of the processes, basically using it as a flag to end the runtime when it is set to True.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
