Closing a program via FSUIPC

[Samaritano]

Hello.

I am using the latest FSUIPC6 version and I'm trying to close a program via FSUIPC after I exit the simulator and it does close it from the taskbar but when I check Task Manager under "Details" it is still showing there. The program in question is Navigraph SImlink and the line that I added to FSUIPC6.ini is:

[Programs]

Run1=CLOSE,C:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink\NavigraphSimlink.exe
 

Is there something that I am missing?

 

Thanks.

Some programs don't close properly with the close option, so try the KILL option instead:
    Run1=KILL,C:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink\NavigraphSimlink.exe
or you can use both:
    Run1=CLOSE,KILL,C:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink\NavigraphSimlink.exe

Great, thank you. I will try that and report back.

Well unfortunately it did not work. I have both CLOSE and KILL in my FSUIPC.ini and Navigraph Simlink it's still running in the background when I check my Task Manager.

Thank you for the suggestion anyways.

Hmm... So you are using a shortcut/symbolic link to start Navigraph? If so, try changing to run the actual executable rather than starting via a link.
I don't have/use Navigraph, so I cannot test with this, but I will check this later.

I have just tested running and closing/killing various programs, some using symlinks and some directly, without any issues.
Could you show me your FSUIPC6.log file - there should be an error logged there if a started process fails to terminate.
