Hi Brian,
Under windows xp pro, there is a utility called "taskkill".
In order to know what it can do for you, open a command prompt and type
taskkill /?
On my system, if I want to shut jaws down, I type
taskkill /u <my_admin_username> /p <my_admin_password> /im jfw.exe /f
Of course, I never did it as is on my computer for obvious security reasons but
if you manage for people not to have the right of viewing the properties of
this shortcut, why not.
On my computer, all the users have admin privilege. Then, the command is simply:
taskkill /im jfw.exe /f
Problem: I did not check on the vista computer I rarely use, whether this
"taskkill" utility still does exist or not. Moreover, I have no win7 computer
around there to check this also.
HTH. Have a nice day. Chris D

Subject: JFW and Command line Switches
I tried the Freedom Scientific technical support desk about 3 or so weeks back,
and they didn't know the answer to this, and told me that they would call me
back. Well I haven't heard back from them, so I'm hoping one of you might have
the answer.
I looking for a way to turn JFW off via the command line. This would be useful
for times when someone who doesn't need JFW logs into their account on my
machine. I could just have a shortcut defined in their "Startup" folder that
would run JFW with the command to turn it off. This would make it a whole lot
easier all the way around. If my memory serves me correctly there use to be a
way to do this, but it's been way too many versions ago. Any and all help
would be greatly appreciated on this one.
Blessings,
Brian
