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.

Re: Signal support






Unless something has changed in 5.2, the TCPIP stack applications have a 
way to do clean shutdowns, but the stack itself does not. 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?
