CumulusMX Shutdown
Had a bit of a search & don't find any references.
How is the best way to shutdown CumulusMX for a scheduled reboot on a Windows PC?
Is it safe to just force the reboot with shutdown.exe /r
or is there a more graceful way to terminate Cumulus?
Thanks

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
As per the instructions 'Ctrl+C'. Task scheduler should be able to do this for you.

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
Hmmm,
Sending Ctrl-C was my first thoughts, but it doesn't seem this is possible from the search results I see.

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
Duke is correct Ctrl + C is the answer. If you look in the Command Prompt window it tells you how to shut it down in the boot process.

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
I never use Ctrl+C, I just close the program like any other program...

Having difficultly locating a suitable utility or script to pass the key sequence to the window.
Would a key macro by the best approach? One that could test & shift focus to the command prompt Window & then pass it the Key sequence?

Eh, I've never had corrupted data, you do know that Ctrl-C is just the Linux equivalent of close in Windows?duke wrote:Read the instructions to avoid losing data or other corruption!

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
CMX opens a web socket connection, it will (not always) cause corruption of data if it isn't shutdown correctly. It happened to me when i first started using CMX- I closed it by mistake. CTRL + C is put in there for a reason.Grimers wrote:Eh, I've never had corrupted data, you do know that Ctrl-C is just the Linux equivalent of close in Windows?duke wrote:Read the instructions to avoid losing data or other corruption!

Re: CumulusMX Shutdown
Ctrl-C works in Windows also. Just because your data hasn't been corrupted doesn't mean it won't happen. I have had it happen.Grimers wrote:Eh, I've never had corrupted data, you do know that Ctrl-C is just the Linux equivalent of close in Windows?duke wrote:Read the instructions to avoid losing data or other corruption!
