Running REXX containing dialogues should issue an error in case of user interaction when using REST interface

We use the command "zowe zos-tso issue command "exec somerexx"" extensively, to reuse some of our existing REXX on Z.
This causes problems sometimes, when a legacy REXX calls another legacy REXX that calls another ..., and somewhere a panel pops up that require user interaction.
This causes the user session to hang, and can also cause problems with the z/OSMF task.
The effect is that no more "zowe zos-tso issue command "exec" commands can be issued, until the user session is timed out.

We would like z/OSMF to somehow register that a user interaction was initiated, and terminate the call and return an error instead of just hanging.

Some of this could be solved by a timeout, that returns control to the script running the Zowe command, with a timeout message.
But this wont fix the session, that I would assume is still hung.
