Thanks, David. I will play around with this when I get home. I'll open up a ticket at the same time as well, when I have sufficient time to review the problem. I'm looking to have the comet actor automatically shutdown after it's pushed the 10th item to the server, which looks like would be possible to do with a shutdown function.
