Hey Claymore,

I'm trying to get my rigs under a sleep schedule as my electricity provider is charging extra $$ during peak hours of the day (for summer months).  So, I've got a couple scripts that run using the Task Scheduler on Windows.  I need to be able to close the miner before it sleeps the rig, so that when the task to wake the rig up and start the miner executes later, I won't have >1 instance of the miner running.  I've tried the following:

Code:
C:\Users\Miner>taskkill /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe
ERROR: The process "EthDcrMiner64.exe" with PID 7216 could not be terminated.
Reason: This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option).

...which made me do this:
Code:
C:\Users\Miner>taskkill /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe /F
ERROR: The process "EthDcrMiner64.exe" with PID 7216 could not be terminated.
Reason: Access is denied.

Can you tell me a good way to gracefully exit your miner via cmd?

Bump!  Can anyone help me out here?
