   RS> Okay, so you're wanting a change in the behavior of the termination signal   
   RS> handling. That seems different than expecting the use of a file to signal t   
   RS> termination.   
      
   Nope.   
      
   What was asked was an additional check for a simple dummy file when BinkD    
   ***is idle*** and terminates if that file exists.   
      
   I prefer to have all connections finish before BinkD shuts down.... letting    
   the door close gently via a dummy file rather than slamming it shut with Pid.   
      
   Just like every Fidonet mailer does so.
