   Hi Marc,   
      
   On 2021-01-17 09:20:03, you wrote to All:

   I'm wondering why you would need that?   
      
   And doesn't OS2 have a way to kill running software? In linux you can 'kill'   
   it by PID or program name, so you don't need a semaphore file for this kind of   
   mechanism...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
