Re: Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10
It sounds to me like you've got an open socket or file laying around in the program that is preventing it from closing. Check your sockets and open files when you quit (handle the quit stack message). Maybe a driver on one machine is not releasing the socket and so your program stays around waiting. len On 3/29/2010 12:02 AM, hmspot...@googlemail.com wrote: Hello, I have a standalone application made by Revolution 4.0.

Re: Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10
Hello Len, Thank you for responding to my question. I hope I am a little better than an average computer user, but I have a very long way to go before qualifying to be a geek. Could you explain what it means to have an open socket in the program? I am a mere teacher, and my program is a simple app to keep students record according to their class. All data is saved locally inside data stacks. There is no network connection or connection to external database. Before quitting, all open stacks are closed. My program works (i.e. quits cleanly) on other computers running Xubuntu 9.10, Mac OS X or Windows. The anomaly occurs only on my laptop running Xubuntu 9.10. I would think that my coding in Revolution must be ok, but something is not right on my laptop, on which my app fails to quit cleanly. However, oddly, on the same laptop, another app I made quits cleanly. Can you suggest what I should change on my laptop?

Your report mentioned sockets, so that seems a likely candidate. But I don't know why it works on other machines. To everyone: RR tried to reproduce this and couldn't, so it's something on that particular machine. If anyone has a clue, I'd like to know too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10
