****************************************************************** * * * METZEXIT * * README FILE * * * ****************************************************************** Use METZEXIT to exit, restart or reboot Windows, or close all active METZ applications. You can also automatically exit Windows, run a DOS application, then return to Windows. METZEXIT uses command line parameters. Running METZEXIT without any parameters will display the possible command line options. The command line options are as follows: /X Exit Windows /R Restart Windows /B Reboot System /E[drive:path\\application] {parameters} -Exit Windows, run DOS application, restart Windows /M Closes all METZ applications For example, to Exit Windows run "METZEXIT.EXE /X". Currently running applications will ask you to save any changes for all of these commands. METZEXIT attempts to close any active DOS Windows by sending the an EXIT command to the Window. Only applications that recognize an EXIT command, or DOS Windows at the DOS prompt will close successfully. METZEXIT will give up if it can't close the DOS Windows. When used with the METZ Scheduler, you can schedule METZEXIT to exit Windows. If you are then running Windows from a batch file, the batch file can run applications that cannot be run while using Windows, such as disk defragmentation. ****************************************************************** * For more information about installing or using METZEXIT * * contact: * * * * METZ Software Technical Support * * P.O.
