What would be the correct way to close running Zorro instances from the master (by pressing [Stop])

Code

while  (zStatus(2) or zStatus(3) or zStatus(4) or zStatus(5) ) { 
 if (!wait(300)) { zClose(0); return 1;}				
}

zClose(0) is supposed to close all instances, but this doesn't happen.

zClose(0) is correct, but must be called from the master process. Child processes can only close themselves.

As I wrote, the snippet above is from the master process.

Then close the processes separately by their Id. We'll check if and when zClose(0) does not close them.

Just wanted to check if this was checked.?

Close them separately. The manual was premature. Zorro 2.49 supports zClose(0), but not Zorro 2.48.

This was with Zorro 2.49.3

Then it's still not implemented, but I have it on my list as ready. I'll inquire.

- Update: I just tested it and it works here. Can you post your whole code?
