From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  tron v. [NRL, CMU; prob. fr. the movie "Tron"] To become inaccessible
     except via email or `talk(1)', especially when one is normally available
     via telephone or in person. Frequently used in the past tense, as in:
     "Ran seems to have tronned on us this week" or "Gee, Ran, glad you were
     able to un-tron yourself". One may also speak of `tron mode'; compare
     {spod}.
  
     Note that many dialects of BASIC have a TRON/TROFF command pair that
     enables/disables line number tracing; this has no obvious relationship
     to the slang usage.

  TRON
       
          1.  {The Real-Time Operating System Nucleus}.
       
          2.  (TRace ON) A
          {command} used when {debugging} {programs} written in
          early {line-numbered} {BASIC} that contained {GOTO} and
          {GOSUB} statements.
       
          When the TRON command had been {executed}, the program ran
          with a {window} open indicating the line number being
          executed at that instant.
       
          The {TROFF} (an abbreviation for "TRace OFF") command turned
          the {tracing} off.
