Re: How to properly Ending a background program

Shutting things down with *CNTRLD will also send a SIGTERM signal to the job, so your program could use a signal handler (vs. the very clunky %SHTDN BIF) to catch the condition and end immediately.

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.
