 From your answer I'd guess you did.

OK, that's important information.

Now my remaining question is probably so very basic, that you sort of 
missed it: my "session" is started from a script and so I'm probably 
able to stop all services in the session from within this script - if I 
knew how to find "it": "it" being "the thing to stop", i.e. "my own 
session" or something like that. I.e. the script should kill itself and 
all its children.

Would that be possible? I simply don't know how to "find my own session 
and kill it" from within my own session - and I wouldn't know how to 
stop it either.

To rephrase: how should a session commit suicide if it really wants to? ;-)

Does that help? (Or is the answer "no you can't - seek help" ;-)

Best regards,

Valentijn
