   RM> I have not checked how BinkD reacts to SIGTERM   
      
   As explained - Myself and others have a specific need to have BinkD shutdown   
   when its idle. As in, after all connections finish up. I really don't care at   
   the end of the day if that is accomplished with a semaphore file or other    
   means so long as it does things exactly in the way that was being described.   
      
   RM>  NA> letting the door close gently via a dummy file rather than slamming it   
   RM>  NA> shut with Pid.   
   RM>    
   RM> There are MANY SIGNALS!!!!!   
      
   BinkD runs excellent on this Windows system for long periods of uptime   
   unattended without any babysitting. If the initial request can be done, I'm    
   all ears. If it cannot, then life goes on. Its not the end of the world.   
      
   If I wasn't happy with it, I wouldn't be using it. Calm down, have some dip.
