Taking this a step further (and resulting in an 'offical' enhancement
request to CBM), how about a system message to do the same thing. A good
example is when a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) notifies a system that
it is on batteries and has 5 minutes left. A system generated shutdown
message could tell all tasks to inform the user, cleanup gracefully, and
quit. An immediate form of the message that bypasses polite requesters
would be used when there is a short time left or for non-user tasks. I
know it could be done with Arexx, but I like the idea of this being
built-in the OS.
