Shutdown()

[anixon]

;Exit the program

;

Func dtexit()

$sd = iniread(@scriptdir&"\inifiles\my.ini", "shutdown", "type", "0")

$shutdown = iniread(@scriptdir&"\inifiles\my.ini", "shutdown", "process", "0")

If $shutdown = 1 Then

Shutdown($sd)

EndIf

Exit

EndFunc

;

;End of Script

This routine worked ok when $sd was set to Hibernate (64) when I changed to Logoff (0) I got a logoff but when I try and run the script after logging back on I am get the following message box "myscript.exe - DLL Initalisation Failed - The application failed to initalise because a Windows Station is shutting down. I have done the following:

Recompiled the script - did not resolve

Restored Windows XP to an earlier date - did not resolve

Deleted and then reinstalled/recompiled Script - did not resolve

Could only resolve the problem if I set $shutdown to 0 or rename the script.

Any clues?

Maby try to do some check errors...

Func dtexit()
    $sd = IniRead(@scriptdir&"\inifiles\my.ini", "shutdown", "type", "0")
    $shutdown = IniRead(@scriptdir&"\inifiles\my.ini", "shutdown", "process", "0")
    If $shutdown = 1 Then
        Switch $sd
            Case 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 32, 64
                Shutdown($sd)
            Case Else
                MsgBox(16, "Error", "Wrong ShutDown parameters: " & $sd)
        EndSwitch
    EndIf
    Exit
EndFunc

Its only an example, you must do more checking...

Thanks for the code. The following results were achieved

0 = Logoff - OK

1 = Shutdown - OK

2 = Logoff and Reboot - OK

4 = Did nothing but when trying to run the script again got the dll initalisation failure message

8 = Logoff and POwer Off - OK

32 = Standby/Logon Screen however no response to the keyboard or the mouse had to push the resent button to resolve

64 = Hibernate/POwer Button to Restart/LOgon Screen/ Returned to where I was when Hibernation processed - OK

It would appear that on my system shutdown(4) and shutdown(32) dont produce the documented response

is this a bug or a Windows setting?

Cheers Ant....

I solved the problem by simply not using shutdown(4) as a process perhaps this may need to be documented
