==Stopping MX== | |||
The best way to stop MX is by sending a '''control and C''' sequence to it. There is a start stop routine discussed in the support forum, where you will also find some topics about shutdown issues. | |||
The MX source listing suggests it also accepts ''control and break'', '''Close main window''', ''user logoff'', and '''system shutdown''' and should still attempt to stop running tidily. There are various tasks like writing final values to log files and recreating the configuration file, ([[Cumulus.ini]], that it needs to do as part of the MX closing routine, and obviously early closure of the device running MX (such as that caused by a power cut) will prevent a tidy end to MX. | |||
