Now you can, yes. But if you change your hardware-platform to a very modern
multicore one, you will run into the same problems.
All the tools you are using for shutting down tasks won't work anymore. If you
use ECS2/ArcaOS and the ibm-smp-kernel.

There is only one way, to kill a task properly. You have to use CAD.EXE by
hand. cad.exe can't close tasks/programs by batch/rexx/script.

Because of this, I asked for a possible binkd exit-mechanism, like it is
implemented in binkleyXE, a pots mailer. To have a proper exit-mechanism makes
it much easier, than have 10/20 tries of a killing-software like pkill.exe,
go.exe or kill.exe.
