I've seen that IREX can be started from the command line, but can it be
stopped from the command line as well?

Sort of!! Drop a file into the flags dir, named rexexit.now, and rex will quit
within a couple of seconds (it will finish it's current transfers first).

I'm sorry. "FLAGS DIR"?? That's one I've not seen yet.

In the setup for Irex you're asked to enter a directory where flag files are placed. I call mine c:\flags, oddly enough!! Irex puts a file in there to indicate that it's alive (ruxup.0 -- the extension changes according for each copy that's running) and it looks there for files directing it to exit, process
mail, etc.
