218.0. "Fell for a HACTICAL joke" by PLDVAX::ZARLENGA () Wed Mar 12 1986 00:05

        Is there a way to break out of a program that keeps doing
    lib$spawn()'s??? I was suckered into running such a program
    and had to stop my original process to get out.

        Seems there should be an easier way ...
    
    	Any ideas?                 mike

    Simple.  Force the parent process to exit.

218.2Example??ANGORA::ZARLENGAThu Mar 13 1986 01:294
    	Jym, do you mean stop the parent process (ala stop/id=..)? I'm
    not sure what you mean by FORCEX. Can you elaborate further?

    SYS$FORCEX() will force an image (not a process) to exit.

218.4Still stuck ...SWIFT::SHERWOODI am not a noter, I am a free manThu Mar 13 1986 08:283
    
    But FORCEXIT will not work if a SET NOON or an ON ERROR is included
    in the command file :-)

    or if AST's are disabled (I suspect-its 4 yrs since I was playin}ig
    these games), or if the image uses repeating exit handlers

    	Thanks for all the help. I wrote a program to execute the
    sys$forcex call.
    	Is there a way to use this service from DCL?
