Nope.

What was asked was an additional check for a simple dummy file when BinkD 
***is idle*** and terminates if that file exists.

I prefer to have all connections finish before BinkD shuts down.... letting 
the door close gently via a dummy file rather than slamming it shut with Pid.

Just like every Fidonet mailer does so.
