I'm not sure, what your problem is, but if it's one of your _own_ programs,
you can do (nearly) everything you want, in an exitlist-function you
registered with your program. IMHO, the registered list of exit-functions
is _always_ executed, before a process really ends. Even in case of traps, etc
Personally i use this mechanism in an distributed application to tell all
other machines (via NETBios) that one of them has died...

BTW: ShutDown will _never_ complete, until exitlist-processing of _all_
processes is complete.
