Is there a way to quit the server other than the dialog box within the client? The reason is that I run Indigo on my laptop and would like my location-manager software to automatically quit the server when it detects that I've moved to a different WLAN. Right now, the only way I've found to do this is to run Indigo in unitary mode rather than client-server mode.

Does this not work for you?

tell application "IndigoServer" to quit

No, it doesn't -- the server just hangs. In the Activity Monitor, it appears in red, "not responding". Trying to relaunch it again from the client fails. A reboot is necessary.

When the server hangs, you can use a "force quit" in the Activity Monitor to stop the Indigo server.
Then you won't have to reboot the Mac.

IndigoServer is not listed in the Force Quit dialog.
George

But Indigo Server is listed in the Activity Monitor.
Select the Indigo Server process and click the Stop button.
Then you can select to either quit or force quit the process.

Nope, that doesn't work either: the IndigoServer entry turns red and the parenthetical remark "(Not responding)" appears, but it remains on the list. I admit that I haven't yet tried kill from the command line, but none of this should be needed to begin with!

Hi George,

It sounds like IndigoServer has gotten into a bad state. I suggest you restart your Mac. I've seen this happen before when a driver-level problem occurs. It prevents the OS from allowing the server process to be killed.

After you reboot, try the AppleScript technique again:

tell app "IndigoServer" to quit

That should work...

Ah, silly me, I had the "auto relaunch if crash" box checked.
George

If that option is checked, then you can have the OS unload that launchctl item via the command line:

launchctl unload -w "~/Library/LanchAgents/com.perceptiveautomation.IndigoServer2.plist"

And if you want to restart it, you can:

launchctl load -w "~/Library/LanchAgents/com.perceptiveautomation.IndigoServer2.plist"

Matt
