I think your problem is that exitserver doesn't do what you expect in
executive mode.  You should send the job down as a batch job, not in
interactive mode.  A "job" in interactive mode is, I believe, only the
current line you're typing, so exitserver doesn't last until the next
line (or the next invocation of executive).

I'm not positive that's the problem, but it is my recollection that
exitserver won't work like you would expect in interactive mode.  Try
it as a batch job, and see if that works.
