The client can do this by giving a FINISH command. If no clients are

Presently there is no special signal you can send to it other than KILL or
HUP. If you use "kill -HUP", at least then Kermit can catch this signal and
clean up before terminating.
Is your application for Internet connections? Maybe instead of a Kermit
server under cron, you should be looking at an Internet Kermit Service under
inetd:
