   Yeah, you're not understanding what I'm saying. BinkD could pretty easily set   
   a flag when it receives a signal (whatever signal, it doesn't have to be   
   SIGTERM) and then terminate ***when idle**. It sounds like you're opposed to   
   the use of a signal for some reasson.

   BinkIT is a FidoNet mailer and does not behave as you describe.
