stopping smp

[rincinDub]

Has anybody got any tips for stopping the smp, when I want to play some games or to do a reboot. I use ctrl c to stop the process and then check for any running process by using the windows task manager. If any are running I use the end process tab to stop them, but when I restart the smp it complains of not stopping it correctly.

Thats the only way that I know of stopping it to be totally honest with you

I use the batch file below and Ctrl +c stop it fine (you do need to say yes to stop the batch file too. Never needed to use tash manager to end a core, but it alway says this

[10:46:12] - Looking at optimizations...
[10:46:12] - Working with standard loops on this execution.
[10:46:12] - Previous termination of core was improper.
[10:46:12] - Going to use standard loops.

Or this

Ctrl+C should work fine. As long as you don't actually lose any WUs I would just ignore any error or warning messages.

Part of the issue is the magic localhost gnomes, which is how the WinSMP client works, get cross if they are told to go home early. No such problem with Linux

Yea thats the similar complaints to what I get. But if you guys reckon its ok.

What I did when I used WinSMP was perform the service install hack then start and stop it in services.msc, just as I would if it were the old single CPU client. It kept me from accidentally Alt F4'ing the window.
