Question to remove break control statement in OGS5

Hi all,

I would like to remove the break control statements
  https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/sources/OGS/rf.cpp#L215
  https://svn.ufz.de/ogs/browser/trunk/sources/OGS/rf.cpp#L303
from the official OGS5 version.

These statements prevent the user from passing a signal (SIGTERM) to the OGS process that will then make the process to end itself (normally, the shortcut for this is Ctrl+c). Maybe, this was introduced to omit accidental copy commands in a terminal and by that ending an OGS process in MS Windows. The downside of this is, that this is now causing trouble on the UFZ cluster EVE by leaving zombie processes and refusing to react on a SIGTERM, thus filling up computing nodes.

Please object and tell me why you really need this, otherwise I would like to remove with the next release.

Best,
Marc
