Is it possible to close a Rev standalone (exe) by sending it a parameter from another standalone?

cheers

Typical -- you spend a couple of hours searching using the wrong search terms, post a request, then find it straightaway - the "kill" command :)

HI,

If you are on Mac OS X, "kill" is just plain wrong, even though it works. This would literally kill the programme, not allowing the application to clean up or to show a dialog "Do you really want to quit.". Instead, use AppleScript:

tell application "You Standalone" to quit

Best,

Mark
