Hi,

I need to quit a program (it's PolyOrganiser) from/in a script befor the script does it's jop. In fact I installed an automatic backup solution with MirrorCopy and CronTab, so the System partition is automatically "mirrored" every night but if Polyorganiser is running the script stops and gives back an error.

Can anyone help me please?

Regards

Christoph

RXCmd ORGA.1 QUIT

@ jPV

thanks for your feed-back in this matter!

It seems that I'm not able to quit PolyOrganiser with a script though I can start it allright with the following script:

/* */

Address command

IF ~Show("P", "ORGA") THEN "run System:PolyOrga/Orga"

Exit


but I didn't find the solution to quit the program. I tried this:

/* */

rxcmd ORGA.1 QUIT

Exit


but it doesn't work.


Could you give me a hint please?

Thanks in advance

Christoph

RXCmd is a DOS command and not an ARexx function.

With RXCmd you can send a single ARexx command to a specified port w/o invoking the ARexx scripting engine at all.

If you already have an ARexx script there you just can send 'QUIT' command directly.

It's as tokai says:
Code: would be something from a shell, or DOS script. Try the following instead:

Code:

Keep in mind that when you are using arexx to send a command to a program, than you have to *ADDRESS* that program's port. RxCmd, as suggested by JPV, could be very useful if you like using DOS scripts--since you could use LIST and RegEx.

Not to mention that you can use it without having the original rexxsyslib.library installed...

Hi all,

thanks very much for all your help Everything works fine now and my System partition gets "mirrored" automatically every night.

"breakname" or maybe also "break" itself work with apps with no rexx port

Yes, but only for console applications that specifically listen for "Control-C" or "Control-D" keyboard sequences?

All programs, which are listening to CTRL-C.
