The dictionary says this (from LC 6.7.5): In standalones, some care is needed to ensure you receive the *shutdownRequest* message if your application uses multiple stacks. The most reliable approach is to install a library stack or backscript to handle the message when your application starts up.
I couldn't get this to work, so I went with Martin Koob's solution, which did work. Note that this refers to multi-stack standalones. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 7:51 PM, J.
