Hi Ben, You must handle the shutdownRequest and the closeStackRequest messages.
on closeStackRequest quitMyProject end loseStackRequest on shutdownRequest quitMyProject end shutdownrequest You can find the quitMyProject script here http://qery.us/tg Note that you might need to remove the MySQL part from that script and you might remove anything else that your stack doesn't need. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 20 jun 2011, at 17:12, Ben Rubinstein wrote: > I have a standalone that's supposed to perform various tasks when it exits. > I thought it was doing so, but having recently changed the hardware it's > running on, there's now an error on shutting the machine down which we've > traced to my app not doing these tasks. > > The app consists of a mainstack and a sub-stack, but the sub-stack is only > ever opened if the app is used interactively, which it generally isn't. > > The app performs the shutdown tasks if it gets either a closeStack or > shutDown message.
