Shutdown

NOTE: To build this sample in Visual Studio 2015 in a RTSSRelease configuration, you must add the following libraries in Properties > Input:

legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
legacy_stdio_wide_specifiers.lib

Description

Demonstrates the use of a system shutdown handler in an application.

Source Files

Shutdown project source file:

Shutdown.c sets up a continuous periodic timer that drives the speaker. When the shutdown occurs (either a normal Windows shutdown or a "blue screen" stop), the shutdown handler is called and it prints out a message, waits another 10 seconds, and then stops the timer and returns, allowing Windows to complete the shutdown. Use "net start gencrash" to generate a Windows "blue screen" stop, or use the "start" button and "shutdown" menu to test the two types of shutdown behavior.

Build the Sample

Open the solution in the desired Visual Studio version you wish to build.
Once Visual Studio is open, build the sample in any desired RTSS configuration that is available

Run the Sample

Run the Executable for RTSS. A tone should play and will continue until Windows is shut down.
Upon shutting down, a message will be displayed and then a sleep for 10 seconds, after which the shutdown program will quit as well.

Remarks

The shutdown program should be built as an .rtss executable binary file and run in the real-time environment. The RTX API call RtAttachInterrupt will not run in the Win32 environment.
