Actually, that's the general idea.

And there's already a way to shut down the main server through a socket 
connection; that's how a normal shutdown works, and it's built into the 
protocol.

It's the child-server job that maintains an individual client connection 
that I'd like to be able to force to shut down, and in particular, to 
force an abend when when SQLExecDirect has control (we can already force 
it to shut down when the child-server's own code has control).

In other words, something analogous to "SysRq 2" in a terminal session.
