WampServer

Does WAMP 2.2 have a commandline command to exit wampmanager.exe as if one were clicking on the exit context menu upon right-clicking the tiny icon in the taskbar? I'm writing a batch file to exit the thing and at the moment, it's brute-forcing the termination of the wampmanager.exe through taskkill and I don't want to do this for obvious reasons... So I was hoping someone could clue me in on this if possible?

I tried using "wampmanager.exe -quit" but that didn't work...

Close

its

wampmanager -quit -id={wampserver}


but this is also brute forcing a server shut.

you shoudl really do


net stop wampapache
net stop wampmysqld
wampmanager -quit -id={wampserver}

I saw this advice elsewhere but I don't *get* what the "-id={wampserver}" part... Obviously, -id is some switch, but are you saying that "{wampserver}" is replaced with something? And does this mean everything inside the curly braces or everything INCLUDING the curly braces?

And if the wampserver is a proverbial variable of sorts, how does one get this? Is this replaced with localhost or something?

no the tray menu has an id. becuase you can have mutiple copies of the tray running with different ids. - obviously this is not recommened for wampserver. but the ID is in a file

c:\wamp\wampmanager.tpl

id={wampserver}

it probably was meant to get replaced.. but it doesnt and so you need to write


-id={wampserver} for all wampserver versions
