Abstract
A process for terminating a client server network connection that includes a first automatic termination of all programs executing on the client from code accessed from the server. The disconnection processing interrogates the client computer system to determine any open program files or libraries. Network program files or libraries result in a user prompting to determine whether they should be automatically terminated. In an alternate embodiment, a profile may indicate whether automatic termination will take place without user notification. Once all network loaded programs have been terminated, the disconnection process proceeds normally to sever the network connection.
