Thanks Ludholf,

Re Q2 - Solved.

Re Q1 - Thanks, but I should have been clearer, I wanted an automated
solution.  My nightly Blat e-mails come from a command line .cmd file.
 I have recently added a javascript to check if stunnel is active and,
if not, start it before my e-mails.  Now I would like to create a
similar script that, if stunnel is running, stops it after my e-mail.
I may just have to use Windows Script Host's Terminate.

Mike
