If the sleeping loop is in the RPGLE, you can use %SHTDN. That also trips
on the same conditions as RTVJOBA.
Just remember when you are shutting things down (PWRDWNSYS, ENDJOB, ENDSBS,
etc.) make sure you end it *CNTRLD instead of *IMMED and allow it enough
time for it to react and do whatever needs to be done before ending. For
example, if the job sleeps for 10 minutes and you end it *CNTRLD with a 5
minute window, it might not wake in time to exit gracefully.

You can use RTVJOBA value ENDSTS to retrieve the cancellation status of a
job. A value of 1 indicates that either the system, the subsystem in which
the job is running, or the job itself is being canceled.

Betreff: How to properly Ending a background program
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.
