Suggestions for "User" command.

[Dave Snyder]

Hello All,

Long time "lurker", almost never "poster" here. But I go way
back with filePro. Worked at an RSCC in the early 80's.

Anyway, my question is this. I have an external routine that I
access via the "user" command. The program excepts input, gives me
output, and overall works just fine. When using it from report processing
I simply pass the external program one last command in @done or @wgt
that tells the external program to end. If I don't, the external program
is left running after the filePro report is finished. This is confirmed
with a "ps aux".   (*nix system of course! :) ) 

Here's my question. I'm trying to use this external program from *clerk.
If I exit *clerk the external is left running. I can do an @keyX, and send
my termination command, but that keeps me from returning to 1 - Record Number,
2 - Scan for Records, 3 - Add Records, etc.

Anyone have any brilliant ideas for ending the external program besides my @keyX solution.

I probably should mention that the external program is a bash script.
