Use the %shtdn() BIF to see if a request to end the program, via ENDJOB
OPTION(*CTRLD) or ENDSBS OPTION(*CTRLD) , has been made.

Additionally, best practice would be to have a linear main routine that can
take advantage of the ON-EXIT functionality to handle any cleanup, even
with ENDJOB OPTION(*IMMED).

There's also an API you can use to register a program for activation group
cleanup when the activation group ends..
Register Activation Group Exit Procedure (CEE4RAGE) API

Hello,

I consider writing a program for running as Autostart-Job in a SBS. It is
supposed to run in an endless loop, doing it's work and sleeping afterwards
for a certain amount of time.

In Linux/Unix, you can send a kill-command to it's PID to make it end.
Without parameters, a SIGTERM is generated and sent. Handling the signal in
the program enables the programmer to delete temp files and other cleanups
to happen.

How is that within the CL environment on OS/400, using RPGLE? I didn't
find helpful information in the ILE Documentation: All explanations there
handle either batch jobs (run and end by itself when done) or interactive
jobs (being ended by the user triggering a RETURN in the code).

Thanks for any pointers to further documentation, or a short explanation.

:wq! PoC
