I am aware of a system service ($FORCEX) which will force the image exit rundown for a process with an active image. I am interested in something similar to this for a process which is currently executing a comfile, (like @login.com or something) but I can't seem to think of anything off hand. If it is not possible from outside the context of the process, is it possible for the process to terminate a comfile from within an image? For example: $ ! sample.com $ run terminate $ dir $ exit And then the 'terminate.exe' would do something suitable to erase the currently executing comfile. I have thought about reading from sys$input but RMS or VMS takes care of that and will stop at the next $ command. I am not looking for any solution that works under fixed conditions, I want a solution that will work under ANY condition. Any ideas?
