I know your issue was resolved; just replying to correct misinformation. This command stops Apache httpd cleanly: httpd.exe -k shutdown You can also use the Apache Service Monitor's Stop button. This applies to all versions of Windows, including Windows98SE. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html#wincons To the best of my knowledge, Windows98SE does not have a place to put commands to run during shutdown. Shutdown closes all programs, completes any writes to disk, and clears the disk write buffer. Apache httpd should close without corrupting anything. Using ALT_F4, CTRL_C, or the X window button may not close all processes -- a performance issue if the computer were to remain running, but shutdown should kill those processes. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
