Close Stack Cleanup

[Bob Sneidar]

Nice try but sadly it does not work. The message does not even get sent to the stack script.

Looking at that, here's a (completely untested) suggestion:

The revIDEHandleCloseStackRequest handler is in the IDE backscript, so it's ready to be overridden. If you don't override it then it executes a revSaveCheck before moving on. If you override this command then you might get what you want.

...at the risk of losing data...

so maybe in your stack script you have:
on revIDEHandleCloseStackRequest
 return "pass"
end revIDEHandleCloseStackRequest

That said, I agree with others that this isn't a Good Idea, and a cleaning routine in preOpenStack would do the trick nicely.
