I think, these things should be introduced a bit more customizable, e.g. as commandline switch: wpkg.js /shutdownmethod:"%0\..\wpkg\my-shutdown-command.whatever" If I remember right - "%0\..\" in this example means under Windows: take the script from the path starting with the location of "wpkg.js", be it on a server share or mapped network drive. So if wpkg.js is: \\server\share\wpkg.js, the script in this example is \\server\share\wpkg\my-shutdown-command.whatever If wpkg.js handles this itself it could be shortened to wpkg.js /shutdownmethod:"wpkg\my-shutdown-command.whatever" but this is a bit less flexible. Without this switch the normal behaviour should be as in 0.9.5 of course. Other projects even do it this way: ... -r"myscript -option1 -option2" -r"myotherscript -option" ... Just my 2ยข. If I have time on monday I'll send a patch.
