Hi,

I want to write a macro that checks for some settings and if the
settings are wrong stop the current compilation and terminate with
an error message. Right now I have

\def\ERROR
      {\writeline
       \showmessage\??externalfilter??{forbidden}\getexternalfilterdirectory
       \batchmode
       \normalend}

Well, the first thought that came in my mind is using os.exit(1):

\def\ERROR{\directlua{os.exit(1)}}

But since this is pretty obvious, I'm sure I'm missing something.

I want the code to also work with MkII, so I did not even think of a lua solution :)
