This example stops the Workplace Shell DSOM Server, then waits until the server has terminate before stopping the DSOM daemon.

enum   {OFF, ON};

WinRestartWPDServer(OFF);

/* Make sure the server thread has terminated completely before */
/* bring down the DSOM daemon                                   */
while ( WinIsWPDServerReady() )
{
   HEV hev;

   /* First create a private, reset, event semaphore.           */
   DosCreateEventSem( (PSZ)NULL, &hev, 0, FALSE);

   /* Wait for 1 second; then try again for a max. of 30 sec.   */
   DosWaitEventSem (hev, 1000);
   if (count++ > 30)
      break;
}
