As John Thornton already said, this can be done by editing the INI file.

I would simply write a custom program/script called M101 or whatever, and 
have that called as the last thing in your program. If you want, you can put 
an optional stop before that.

all very good ideas, but maybe you can make them work with the current 
codebase
