 |  The correct way of handling this is to register a program
 |  or procedure
 |  that is invoked when the program or job ends.
 |
 |  You can use the Unix signal handling APIs (see the Unix API manual)
 |
 |  You can use the C-runtime atexit and atiexit functions (see
 |  the C Runtime
 |  manual)
 |
 |  You can use ILE cancel handlers (see the ILE CEE API manual)
 |
 |  You can register a function that will get control
 |  regardless of how the
 |  job ends and do whatever clean up you need.  Needless to
 |  say, this cleanup
 |  should be performed as quickly as possible.
 |
 |  I have used all the above techniques in various situations.
 |   Use the one
 |  you feel most comfortable with.
