Sos is a portable, extensible support data collection tool designed primarily for use with Linux distributions and other UNIX-like operating systems. SOS is a Morse code distress signal (##################) originally used at sea.


Morse Code

The letter sequence SOS (pronounced SOS) is used in Morse code as a distress signal, a way to call for help in an emergency, such as on a ship. In both the German law of 1 April 1905 and the international regulations of 1906, SOS is defined as a continuous Morse code sequence of three dots/three dashes/three dots without mentioning any alphabetical equivalent. Germany was the first country to adopt the SOS distress signal, which it called the Notzeichen signal, as one of three Morse code sequences included in the national radio regulations that came into force on April 1, 1905.


Maritime

SOS was the maritime radio distress signal until 1999 when it was replaced by the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. SOS is still considered the standard distress signal and can be used with any signaling method. SOS codes are generally only used when sending text messages; mayday is used for voice communications.


Three Dots

In International Morse, three dots make an "S" and three dashes make an "O", and it soon became common to informally refer to SOS as "S O S", with the electric world on January 12, 1907, which states that "ships Those in distress use a special SOS signal repeated at short intervals. In this usage, each letter is still pronounced separately (S-O-S).


Emergency Call

When you make an emergency call, your iPhone automatically dials the local emergency number. If you are outside the crisis zone, you will not be notified, but you can still find SOS alerts by searching for information about major crises.


Schools may license the program through MindWise Innovations (formerly Screening for Mental Health, Inc.). While no training is required to provide SOS, many schools/districts prefer structured instruction to increase awareness and build loyalty to the program. SOS Signs of Suicide (SOS) is a one-stop school prevention program for middle school (11-13) and high school (13-17) students.

The crew sent out a frenzied SOS signal as they realized the extent of the disaster. The operator of the ship in distress then delays sending the SOS SOS message to give the off-duty radio operators time to reach their radio room.
