All,

Not being familiar with the sigaction function, how would I use it in an
RPGLE program?

Thanks,

I agree w/Chris.

Though, you can monitor for a shutdown using sigaction() as well, and I
like that better, because the program will respond to a *CNTRLD end
immediately (rather than waiting til the next time it happens to check
%shtdn)

But, I agree.. if you're coding a server/daemon/service/nep (all
different words for the same thing) you really need to check for shutdown.

IMHO if you write a Sever or Never Ending Program, you should have
the shutdown coded or be shot.
