Perhaps one might want to hold off a shutdown while an existing FTP session completes? Esp. considering the recent thread on Ftp'ing large dumps to vendors. One can always override the shutdown more emphatically if the FTP is getting in the way of an urgently needed shutdown.

This has been a lingering remnant of the old IP stack code since the beginning ? it?s probably not critical, but it is annoying that the only way to shut down the stack is CP FORCE or sending it an external interrupt, essentially crashing it. TCP/IP does it need singal support? It doesn't need to close anything, or am I wrong?
