A die(reason) or exit function is missing, isn't it?

[Jan Schütze <JanS@...>]

Hello,

I already talked with brianm about the mod_lua/wombat project and a 
die(reason)-function, but I think this is a general question, which 
maybe discussed not only in the irc.

Since there is a os.exit function, which (in mod_lua) kills the apache2 
- I was searching for a way to finish scriptexecution somewhere in the 
script. In PHP there is a function called http://php.net/die - have a 
look there for details.

Why is this needed? I am using several database and templating 
connections, but if there is any issues (in 4th, 5th (or more) recusion 
step) its not possible to stop execution with with if-else-constructs. 
So a die("Error occured") would be greatly appriciated.

Kind regards,
