Doesn't !KeStroke let one automate that sort of thing? (And that app's
PD these days).

I have and used Keystroke for a number of years, but I can't say I
remember any auto function like that... ie: Save the log at closed down.

And, Druck's WindOpen module has commands that can do things like issue
virtual menu-clicks. Dunno if it'd solve this or not - you might end up
with a series of commands in an Obey file, and have to ensure it
executed just before you shut the machine down. On a previous RO
machine I had code that I always ran before shutting the machine down,
to perform various checks first. If it thought the system was (in some
sense) safe to shutdown it'd then terminate some apps that needed
shutdown in a particualr order, then tell me that it was safe to do the
rest.

One could also hook something like that into the !Run file for any app
that you always shut down last, and have that test that the machine
really was being shutdown first.

Part of the problem seems to be that au-natural SockStats doesn't generate
a log file, only when called by the menu option.

I've spoken to Chris about this problem, and he says it could be done by
modifying the BASIC source to add autosave support, but he doesn't have a
RO computer any more, and the task is outside my knowledge.

Thanks for the thoughts.
