[Question] Gracefully stopping Everything 1.5 service from CLI

[lifu]

I upgrade 1.5 using a PowerShell script, but to gracefully stop Everything beforehand, I have to go into the options, turn off the everything service, then close the program from the system tray.

Is there a way to gracefully stop Everything's service from CLI? It doesn't respond to anything but a forced stop, and I'm worried that might eventually lead to database corruption.

turn off the everything service

I happen to do that myself, just as a matter of course, when updating, though I don't believe that it actually needs to be done.

(I also always work from a command line.)
From a command line:

everything.exe -uninstall-service

(likewise,

everything. -install-service

)

Void said he would consider an Exit & Uninstall Service tray menu, if []Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is disabled.

The Everything Service doesn't maintain your Everything index.

You can kill the Everything Service without having to worry about database corruption.

everything.exe -uninstall-service
-or-
everything.exe -stop-service
-or-
net stop "Everything"



everything.exe -uninstall-service is preferable as it will terminate the Everything service after 1 minute.
