Hello andrea

WHy don't you use something else then ? Use C or JAVA ....
PHP I think is only web scripting lunguage.

I have absolutely no experience with this, but I thought it can be done
using GTK: http://gtk.php.net/

Angelos,

Not true. A PHP program can run standalone, also.

Andrea,

It's not too bad. Ewoud pointed you to the socket interface; it's as
simple as opening a socket, listening for a message, and once received,
close the socket. Loop around and do it again.

You might also want to listen for a 'special' message such as "SHUT DOWN
NOW" which tells the program to shut itself down gracefully. Otherwise
you would have to kill. Not that this *should* cause a problem - but
I'm always in favor of graceful shutdowns :-).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
