Well, if it were so easy I would have done that already :-) The program
consists of about 30 tasks all waiting for some input to process and
some of them listening on sockets to receive some data from external
sources. It is not so easy to force this program to terminate without
major changes to the code. If I remember correctly there was a discussion
here recently on how to stop an Ada program. The solution, if there was
any, would be handy here now.
