Syntax:

STOP

 

Arguments:

None

 

Options:

None

 

 

 

This script command ends script processing . The action is the same as clicking the Stop button on the Robo-FTP toolbar or pressing the (Esc) key while a script file is executing.

 

Caution

The STOP command should never be used in scripts that are to run non interactively such as scripts called when Robo-FTP is running as a Windows service. This will cause Robo-FTP to stop processing without exiting and thus appear to hang around after it should be done.

 

When scripts are run as the result of the CRON or CALLcommands, it is also doubtful that STOP is a valid command in any such script - to exit from a script under such circumstances refer to the RETURN command.

 

If Robo-FTP is running in a minimized window (i.e., as an icon) or as a Windows service when STOP is executed, the action is the same as executing the EXIT command - namely, Robo-FTP terminates.

 

STOP may also be used to stop running a script when it is in the break state (as the result of using the BREAK script command during debugging).
