I believe that this headless application ability is being added to
VisualAge 4.0.  I am not certain how you would shutdown these
processes.  One option is to create a shutdown utility that sends a
signal to the headless app to shut itself down.  Another option is to
have the application shut itself down after a set of processing is done
similar to a batch processing application.
