New subject: Vista questions

12 Nov 2009

      Thanks Ludholf,
Re Q2 - Solved.
Re Q1 - Thanks, but I should have been clearer, I wanted an automated
solution.  My nightly Blat e-mails come from a command line .cmd file.
 I have recently added a javascript to check if stunnel is active and,
if not, start it before my e-mails.  Now I would like to create a
similar script that, if stunnel is running, stops it after my e-mail.
I may just have to use Windows Script Host's Terminate.

I am running 4.27 on Vista and can successfully start it and use Blat
to e-mail via my gmail account using stunnel.
However, I have two questions:
Q1:  I would like to close down stunnel after sending my e-mails.  How
can I do that on Vista?
Q2: Why do I get the following when I enter "stunnel -help" at the command line
A window with the heading "Stunnel 4.27 on Win32 (not configured)" that says:

You will need to exit and correct the problem

Michael,
did you try to right-click on the stunnel icon in the systray and select "Exit"?

This is stunnel's way to output the help message (or other messages)
on windows.
If stunnel used stdio for messages, you would have seen the help
message in the command prompt window you entered "stunnel -help"
in. However, there isn't necessarily a command prompt window stunnel
is attached to. Imagine to invoke "stunnel -help" via [start]->[run].
