John, In our OEM system, which always runs as a service on Windows, we created an Administrative function specifically designed to shutdown the Server. This walks the Admin through a series of "checks" just to be sure they want to shut down, and how long they want to provide users. Once they accept this, we log it into the database and then execute a method on the Server using the QUIT 4D command.
Hope that helps... Best, Steve ********************************************* Stephen J. Orth The Aquila Group, Inc. Office: (608) 834-9213 P.O.
