Hello Scott,

The SHTDN rpg opcode has been available from the start, so that should available.

I was searching for "%SHTDN", which is *not* available with V4.

Signals have been available in ILE since V3, so that should also work for you. I have used them from RPG many, many times.

I just stumbled over your "kill" command. I'll have a look on that, maybe I can learn something. So, thanks for creating and publishing!

(I have never used them in PASE, however, not sure why you even brought that up... this is the RPG forum.)

I just wanted to be precise.

Thanks! This is mostly the same as I'm already aware from Linux. I'm just not (yet) sure how to utilize signal handlers in RPG. But then, maybe I'll use this chance to fight with the R_ calls for Record I/O in C and just do it in C. :-)
