I understand. Im just testing this at the command line. Here is the output of the stop;
C:\SCRIPTS>stopuv C:\SCRIPTS>net stop uvtelnet The UniVerse Telnet Service service is stopping. The UniVerse Telnet Service service was stopped successfully. C:\SCRIPTS>net stop universe The UniVerse Resource Service service is stopping. The UniVerse Resource Service service was stopped successfully. C:\SCRIPTS>net stop hsrexec The UniVerse REXEC Service service is stopping. The UniVerse REXEC Service service was stopped successfully. C:\SCRIPTS>net stop unirpc The Uni RPC Service service is stopping. The Uni RPC Service service was stopped successfully. C:\SCRIPTS>type stopuv.bat net stop uvtelnet net stop universe net stop hsrexec net stop unirpc C:\SCRIPTS> XP has a 'thing' where you can do something like run1.bat && run2.bat or run1.bat || run2.bat This says that the second command runs only if the first is not successful or vice versa. So, with this you could say stop and if it fails go to try again until it stops. The problem is that is coming back 'ok'. It would be nice to do a 'ps -ef | grep uv' , but I don't think there is a windows equivalent.

Stopping services with a "kill um all, let God sort um out" macro like this can be problematic, it really depends on the service, but it's a nice way to free resources. You may see the command window flash as a BAT is executed, but if something is wrong you won't be able to catch the errors. Depending on how thorough you want to be, I recommend writing more code so that your U2 systems update a Windows file when they boot and shutdown. You can then use a script (WSH) from your BAT which verifies the status before termination, maybe with a pause if the status is unexpected - like if users are still logged-in or some other processes are running.
