Subject: Signaling dosemu application to kill itself from Linux

The problem is that if dosemu is killed from Linux (crond), and
the dosemu console is in focus, the screen/kbd could cause Linux
to reboot because they were left in a bad state by a dos tsr.

Anyone has a mechanism such that, by signaling with a file touch or
somthing else from crontabs/root, will allow the tsr/app to exit
gracefully before a kill...

Thanks
TonyB
