Close

The Close command can be used to:

Close Listers (either the current Lister or all)
Collapse all open Listers to tabs in a single Lister
Exit Directory Opus altogether
Shutdown or restart the system immediately
Schedule a system shutdown for some time in the future
Automatically shutdown the system when all file operations are complete

Command Arguments:

Argument	Type	Possible values	Description
no argument	-	-	Closes the active Lister. If the active Lister was the only one and the Shutdown Directory Opus when the last Lister closes option on the Launching Opus / Startup Preferences page is turned on, this will also exit the program. Example: Close
ALLLISTERS	/O	(no value)	Closes all currently open Listers. The program will also exit if the Shutdown Directory Opus when the last Lister closes option is turned on. Example: Close ALLLISTERS
		collapse	Collapses all open Listers to tabs in a single Lister. All Listers except the active one will be closed, and tabs will be opened in the remaining Lister for every Lister that closed. Example: Close ALLLISTERS=collapse
ALLOTHERLISTERS	/S	(no value)	Closes all open Listers except the active Lister. Example: Close ALLOTHERLISTERS
ALLVIEWERS	/S	(no value)	Closes any open standalone viewer windows.
AT	/K	<HH:MM:SS>	In conjunction with the SYSTEM argument this schedules an automatic shutdown of your system at a given time. The time to shutdown is given as a 24 hour time in HH:MM:SS format. If the time you specify is earlier than the current time of day, it will be taken to refer to the next day. When the time you specify is reached, a ten second countdown timer is displayed before the system it shutdown. Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown AT 04:00:00
AUTOLISTER	/O	(no value)	In conjunction with the Prefs RESTORE command, this argument sets a global flag that specifies that when Opus restarts, it should use "auto-Lister" semantics (which basically means that when Opus restarts, it will open a Lister by default). Example: Close AUTOLISTER
		no	Disables "auto-Lister" semantics when Opus restarts. Example: Close AUTOLISTER=no
CANCEL	/S	(no value)	If you have previously scheduled a system shutdown with the Close SYSTEM and AT or IN arguments, this argument will cancel it. Example: Close CANCEL
IN	/K	<HH:MM:SS>	Schedules an automatic shutdown in a certain amount of time (contrast with AT, which lets you specify an absolute time of day). The time is specified in HH:MM:SS format (or MM:SS or just SS). When the time you specify is reached, a ten second countdown timer is displayed before the system it shutdown. Example: Close SYSTEM=force,poweroff IN 60:00
PROGRAM	/O	(no value)	Exits Directory Opus immediately. Example: Close PROGRAM
		confirm	Exits Directory Opus after displaying a confirmation dialog. Example: Close PROGRAM=confirm
		onlast	Close the program only if this is the last remaining Lister, otherwise just close the Lister. This command lets you create a unified close/quit command. Example: Close PROGRAM=onlast
QUIET	/S	(no value)	Suppresses the confirmation dialog normally displayed when shutting the system down with the Close SYSTEM command. The system will immediately shutdown - there will be no chance to cancel. You can also use this in conjunction with the scheduled shutdown arguments AT and IN. Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown QUIET
SYSTEM	/O	(no value)	Ends your Windows session and logs you off. A ten second countdown dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to cancel (unless you also use the QUIET argument). Example: Close SYSTEM
		restart	Restarts (reboots) the system Example: Close SYSTEM=restart QUIET
		shutdown	This shuts the system down (depending on your hardware, this may also power off the computer; or it may display the "Your computer is now safe to be shutdown" screen). Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown
		poweroff	This shuts the system down and powers off the computer. Example: Close SYSTEM=poweroff
		force	Use this in addition to the other options to force the system to shutdown even if some programs are not responding. Normally the system will wait for all running programs to exit before shutting down. If you use this option the system will shutdown immediately and you may potentially lose unsaved data if some programs are currently busy. Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown,force AT 03:30:00 QUIET
		forceifhung	This is the same as the force option, but only if there actually are any non-responding programs. Otherwise the shutdown proceeds as normal. Example: Close SYSTEM=restart,forceifhung
		switch	If fast user-switching is enabled, this command will let you switch users. (This cannot be scheduled via the AT argument.) Example: Close SYSTEM=switch
		unattended	System restart or shutdown will be done in a way which avoids additional confirmation dialogs when running via Remote Desktop or Terminal Services. The dialogs this avoids come from Windows itself; Opus will still show its own confirmation dialogs unless you also use the QUIET argument. If any applications, for any logged-in users, have unsaved work then system dialogs may still be generated unless you also use force or forceifhung (there is no distinction between the two when combined with unattended). Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown,force,unattended QUIET
TOGGLE	/S	(no value)	Use this argument in conjunction with the scheduled-shutdown options to toggle the scheduled shutdown on or off. If used in a toolbar or menu it causes the button to appear checked whenever a shutdown is scheduled, and unchecked if not (providing a visual indication of the current state of the shutdown scheduler). Example: Close SYSTEM=poweroff,force WHENFINISHED QUIET TOGGLE
WHENFINISHED	/S	(no value)	Schedules an automatic shutdown when all outstanding file operations have completed. For example, when you are downloading a large amount of data via FTP, you could use this to have the computer automatically shutdown when the download is complete. Note that if there are currently no executing functions, the shutdown will be triggered immediately! Example: Close SYSTEM=shutdown WHENFINISHED
