may the Shutdown (System) node help you … ?

hmmmm.

maybe. quite…

doesnt shutdown work in the opposite direction :
with shutdown vvvv forces system to quit.
i would like to start->shutdown the system and this causes vvvv to quit

vvvv.exe can be shut down from the outside:

eg. with a prg called sitekiosk.

Hello folks,

i have quite a similar problem. Tre procedure is as following.

  1. vvvv is running
  2. User hits the power button at the front of the PC
  3. vvvv does not quit

I think vvvv avoids the pc to shut down, which generally is ok because vvvv can do things BEFORE vvvv and windows is shutting down. Ideally the procedure should be as following

  1. vvvv is running
  2. User hits the power button at the front of the PC
  3. vvvv receives a message from the system “System tries to shut down” or “power button pressed” and gives a bang
  4. vvvv does pre-shutdown stuff like shutting down projectors and writing files
  5. vvvv shuts down by it self with the “shutdown (Windows)” node

I don’t want to make thing more complicated, but I have a solution that works but isn’t very reliable:

  1. vvvv is running
  2. User hits the power button at the front of the PC
  3. A third party program (http://english.xpertdesign.de/info_xec.php) that runs programms at windows shutdown runs a second vvvv patch that only does a “DoQuit”
  4. First vvvv patch receives a “OnQuit” Bang, shuts down the projector and finally shuts down windows

Is somebody able to write a patch that receives windows’ shutdown message or the ACPI messages from the power button?

The usability world needs your help (and is willing to pay for)

Thanks,

Martin
