Hello,

A couple of months ago there was a thread about starting and stopping
the pvmd from within a pvm program.  I am familiar with pvm_start_pvmd
but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent pvm_stop_pvmd that doesn't at
the same time kill the calling program (pvm_halt).

So, I'm stumped as to how to stop the pvmd from within my program.  Any
ideas out there? I've tinkered a little with opening a pipe to "pvm" and
writing out "halt" after disconnecting from the pvmd, but so far haven't
gotten it to work.  I'd appreciate any other solutions, this seems a
little, well, roundabout.  ;)

Thanks!
Jon
