If you give a "kill -HUP" to the main afpd,
then everyone gets a 5 minute warning message,
and after 5 minutes they are logged off.
(If you send two kill -HUP, it does something else.)

In MacOS you can give a 10 minute delay or something like that, and a message will be displayed on all connected computers stating the service will be going down. I need a netalk equivilent for this.
