Correct way to shutdown CumulusMX

[XBower]

Hi folks.

I have just installed CMX on a Windows 10 computer.
I'm a bit worried about best way to stop CMX when needed.
I understand that using a simple 'kill' is not a good idea.
Ctrl-c in the program windows is the preferred method.

But how about Windows Update?
I have disabled automatic restart, but the system does reboot itself every now and then anyway.
How does CMX react to such a reboot?
Can I hope for such a reboot being a graceful one, and not just 'killing' the running processes?

If I would like to perform a scheduled shutdown of either CMX or the whole system, what would be the safest way to do so?

Not to mention a power failure.
But I don't see any way to safe guard against that besides a UPS.

How do You guys handle these things?

Best regards

Install as a service and let Windows look after startup and shutdown. There are instructions on this forum and in the Wiki.

Hi.

Yeah, I know...
I HAVE read about how to do this earlier, but I simply can NOT find it again.
These WIKIs are not very easy to find Your way around.

The release post has instructions.

Thanks...

Just what I was looking for, these two simple commands.
Probably just what I've been reading before, but could not find my way back to.

Can I now trust MS (I don't trust them very much) to stop this service in a 'graceful' way?
I'll just leave it this way, and see what happens.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

My Cumulus gets scheduled shutdown & restarts daily.

Discussed in this thread about 4 years back.
