I have a Dell laptop, and everytime I shut down the server I get a very loud 'beep'; now this is annoying and I would like to turn it off.

I don’t think it’s indicative of Uniform Server just wondering if this is a Dell or Vista feature!

Ric, you are right, I thought the pskill.exe program was the cause, so I downloaded another process killer, and it's still the same.

 

Thanks anyway.

Hahaha the f** bas** I got rid of it

 

To turn off the Dell laptops' annoying LOUD BEEP, refer to these articles: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread...p+beep+wireless

Confession time! I now believe the problem is indirectly due to pskill.exe while hacking some code could not kill the mysql server. Traced this to a file named Close.bat what was interesting I actually had the PC audio switched on and yep you guessed it. I received that annoying beep, an alternative solution can be found on this page:

Well I remembered your post seems my original advice was incorrect hope the above may be of use.

 

Oops it not an alternative solution, consider implementing it because there is a small possibility of mysql data corruption, never seen it but its best to be on the safe side.

This is now included in a combined bug fix see Wiki:

I've changed pskill.exe to pv.exe a long time ago and I can't remember hearing beep sound after that.
