So, what were you after?  Trying to keep from having to kill InJoy via a cron 
job to get things to recycle to binkley (to restart the fidonet mailer)?  If 
so, two options:  (a)  Is there a hook you can use when IREX exits (like 
modifying the command file running IREX to run killjoy instead of the CRON 
job)?  And (b)  Is there an idle shutdown setting available in InJoy that would 
work for your situation?  The later would allow you to use the box for other 
internet related activity and allow that processing to complete before 
recycling to Binkley.

Take care.....
