How about creating a started task, say OPENCMD. When started, it determines what OpenMVS programs are running. Then the operator could issue /F OPENCMD,KILL *ALL for normal shut down all OpenMVS functions prior to shutdown, or '/F OPENCMD,unixcmd function option' and the function with options would be forwarded to the unixcmd. When all was shutdown, it would close.
