Exit .ffs_gui after successful synchronization

[Lando]

Only a short question:

What do I have to do to make FFS in GUI-mode exit automatially after a successful synchronization?
In other words: Which command du I have to put in "run command after synchronization" within the synchronization settings? Or is that the wrong way and there is a right one?

Thanks for your effort.

Try Taskkilling FreeFileSync!

Microsoft TechNet - Taskkill

edit:

I have done some testing but seem possible only using the syntax that force close FFS:
taskkill /f /im freefilesync_x64.exe

The correct way of closing FFS should be:
taskkill /im freefilesync_x64.exe

but is ignored.

edit 2:

The correct way of closing (not forced) FFS:
taskkill /im freefilesync_x64.exe

works as desired if you select Exit instead of leaving Show summary from the dialog shown during sync.

Try Taskkilling FreeFileSync!

A bit rude, but works. :) In any case, the auto-close feature is a design-todo for the next releases.

The correct way of closing FFS should be:
taskkill /im freefilesync_x64.exe

Unless explicitly supported by an application, taskkill without "/f" is generally asking for trouble. Technically it simply closes the main window, which can be unexpected by an app in a certain context and lead to a crash.
This is also the reason why taskkill without "/f" appears to work in combination with "Exit".

PS: taskkill with "/f" is also asking for trouble, of course. ;) It will immediately terminate the process, so it won't have a chance for any kind of clean up or saving of changed config, might leave behind half-written files, etc.

Probably you mean /f

Taskkill without /f is like closing an app clicking the upper right corner X:
if the app is in a state where it can be closed, it close with regular housekeeping, otherwise none is done.

Probably you mean /f

Thanks, fixed.
