You can create a dummy file on the server and have your app check for the existance of this file using a timer. If the file exists, the app will close itself. Or you can use a dummy table and change the value of one field, etc.

>(most) of us are sleeping. This exe captures downloaded files from an AS400 and refreshes many of my tables for my application. I also take this opportunity to pack and reindex my tables since I have exclusive use of all tables. This is where I am having some trouble. Everything works okay while running this exe as long as all of my users are logged out of the app, but if a user forgets to log out, my exe obviously will bomb since I need exclusive use to pack & reindex.
