Anonymous

Anyone know how I can get a Windows 95 machine to shutdown correctly while a kix32 script is running? It goes into the "cannot shutdown while a program is running... end task routine.."

The reason is I have a scheduling script, it needs to stay constantly running, but I don't want the users to freak out when they use the shutdown command. Maybe if I could modify their systems to perform a kill kix command before the shutdown but I don't know where that would even be inserted... doesn't windows write something to the registry to broadcast that it is trying to shut down? If so then I could look for the presence of that variable and have it quit on it's own.... Thanks

Just an idea !
What you can do, run your kix script by adding a batch file in the directory
windows\...\programs\start
and the batch file will contains the shutdown command.
Or add in the registry localmachine...\runonce the batch file.

I got some feedback from Ruud about another topic which also relates to this issue:


On redirection: I'll probably have to look into this anyway, because I'm
looking at moving KiXtart to a 'console-less' mode, and that involves the
redirection code.
