I have a button on my config which closes all samurize instances that I use. I naturally tried using client.exe's close parameter to this, but found out that it's slower than a .vbs solution. Also, in case it's trying to close a non-running config, it will open it first and then close.

The following .vbs code isn't my doing, I just edited a bit to make closing multiple instances easy. I unfortunatelly don't remember who the original author is.

Here goes...

Just edit the "iOther" constant in the beginning to fit your needs (names). Use | to separate.

Hope you'll find it useful.

How do you mean this is faster than using the command line option. I would think any use of a .vbs with a refresh rate low enough to make the button work quick enough would use mega CPU cycles, dunno but hope you can explain further.

The close shouldn't be slow? It's pretty snappy here.

Though the close thing when the client is not running can be fixed.

Same here, I have a close button on a couple of my configs I don't use very much and it closes really quick even with a config refresh rate of 1500ms...

No idea why it's faster for me. Maybe because norton av running in the background is slowing things down? Oh well, ignore it then

Starting my 7 Instances just takes 2 secs and closing all per commandline a bit over 1 sec.

I run AV in the background too, so not sure...

Ok, I figured out why it was slow for me when I tried it. It was because the first instance that I was trying to close wasn't always running. Thus loading it first and then closing (it's a net-info fetching instance) slowed closing of others.

How do you close multiple instances with the commandline for client? im running 2 instances named tvprogram and channel and want by one click to close them both! Cant seem to find it anywhere!

You use:

c:\program files\samurize\client i=tvprogram Close
c:\program files\samurize\client i=channel Close

Not quit the reply i needed! I need to know how to close 2 instances by only one click! I was thinking of something like this Client.exe i=tvprogram i=channel close! I know the commands for the close option. But how to close multiple instances is what im looking for! The one thing u wrote doesn't work! It works if i have 2 buttons but not one!

Just make two separate meters with the links AdamC gave and place them on top of each other...

cyberbeer, have a look at my post in Expanding and Collapsing, Expanding&Collapsing two at a time! and just change

to (but with your instance names)

please try using less ! and more . in your posts

this looks confusing. i'll just create a bat file instead.
