Yes.

From the docs:

                                 8.3: rexexit.now

   If Rex detects the existence of this file in its semaphore directory
   while in daemon mode, it will react as if Alt-X (Ctrl-X for Linux
   users) had been pressed and will exit as soon as possible.  If it's
   running an event at the time, it will only exit once the event has
   been completed.

In other words, have your event manager put a file (contents don't matter)
into your flags directory. Rex will see it, erase it, and exit!

Cheers... Dallas
