Thanks for your kind words. It's easy to feel beat-up here no matter what you say or do.

I worked for a software company as a consultant in a previous life ... Client-server app builder ... They used an IP listener to manage the upload/download of the application software ... Setting this up as a started task and then explaining to Ops/Automation that the only way to stop it was to Cancel the Started task was not fun (against their operational procedures) ....

I admit I had given no thought (so far) to this issue. I'm going to start a new thread on this topic.

If I want it during limited function "system checkout time" I'd >use COMMNDxx. Otherwise the automation. To reiterate: The difference is shutdown. If TCPIP services are needed for successful shutdown, then the product MUST be shutdown before TCPIP services go away. Or there needs to be a lot more code to test that IP services are always available and to handle a graceful shutdown in the absence of TCPIP.
