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.
