Re: Xwin shutdown command line option

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju <infyquest at gmail dot com>]

I think the Cygwin/X server implementation for shutting down the xserver

ie, code using the system tray->exit

can be encapsulated in -stop/-terminate

like

if(strcmp(args[#no],"-terminate")
{
#ifdef WIN32
      //code using the system tray->exit
#endif
}
