Cumulus Support

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

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

Hmmm,

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

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.

And task scheduler should easily be able to send that to CMX.

I never use Ctrl+C, I just close the program like any other program...

I'm open to suggestions on how to send Ctrl-C with the scheduler.
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?

Read the instructions to avoid losing data or other corruption!

Eh, I've never had corrupted data, you do know that Ctrl-C is just the Linux equivalent of close in Windows?

Life's too short.

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.

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.

Interesting...
