Once you've executed `TApplication::Run' you're sitting inside an event loop, and the only reasonable way to get out of that, is to somehow create a `TApplication::Terminate' event (it shouldn't come after the `TApplication::Run', but from somewhere else). One way to do that, is to have a GUI that sends a termination signal to your application, another is to do it from the CINT Command Line Interface, using the `.q' (and related) commands, or you can send it once some condition is true. If you just want your program to run, do it's thing, and then exit, you should not call `TApplication::Run'. > I tried this but it seems that I always have to the "Ctlr + C" in > order to end the application. Hitting `C-c' could have the unfortunate side-effect that you by-pass your carefully written cleanup code, like flushing `TTree's to disk, closing a network connection, and so on.
