First, the ATTACHing task can just do a DETACH of the child task. However, this likely will cause an abend of the child with a S33E abend, which shows up on the SYSLOG. I've never done a STIMERM so I cannot really comment on the rest of your question. When I do this sort of thing, I have always use STIMER and a STIMER exit. I then did a WAIT ECBLIST= where one of the ECBs was a "shutdown" ECB. After the WAIT, I would test for the "shutdown" ECB being POST'ed and exit normally if it had been.
