Hi all, Does the system watchdog broadcast a specific message to terminate an application? The reason for asking is I have an application written in BASIC that spawns a couple of child tasks. As part of the close down routine it does close down any open child tasks. This appears to be working fine. If I quit the program whilst child task is running, then the open child task quits, as expected, same as if I quit my application from Task display/Task manager. However when the task is closed via system watchdog(Alt-Break), the main task is closed, but not any open child tasks. I am therefore wondering if there is a specific message I need to listen out for so I can close the child tasks too? -- Paul Stewart Sent from A9home running RISC OS 4.42
