Title: How to Quit MC33 when using a scheduled shutdown
Post by: Lodewijk_Ramon on December 23, 2024, 04:10:07 am

I am trying to implement automatic shutdown and poweron at preset times. This used to be a simple function in older MacOS-versions.
I am doing it now by using a pmset-command in the terminal. But the shutdown hangs because of MC33 is still running.
My question is: is there a way to quit (or kill) MC33 just before or at shutdown?
The command line I am using is: sudo pmset repeat shutdown MTWRFSU 23:00:00 poweron MTWRFSU 09:30:00

Sorry, the page you mentioned is typically for a Windows environment. Moreover I don't see any reference to quitting or stopping MC.
But anyway thank you for giving feedback.

Web Services (MCWS) may be able to do that.

Most of the things on the page for the command line can also be used on the Mac command line. For example:

Code: [Select]

/Applications/Media\ Center\ 33.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher /Close
Will gracefully close MC.

Updated the wiki for both MacOS and linux.
