Hello all
Do you know any command line that can force jaws to restart?
This is because i'm using a program on my laptop that disables
the Jaws key. And th only way to restore it is to restart Jaws.
But i wish i could write a batch file that would make it
automatically after this program has been run.
thank you for any suggestions
Have a nice day

Hello,
I have this DOS command in my desktop
shortcut.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t
00
the 's is for shutdown, -r is for reboot
the -f is for force (It doesn't work as well
as it did in Win7
The -t is the time to wait -- 0 mili seconds
The command shutdown.exe might work without
the path.
You could move the shutdown.exe file to your
root directory.

Hi Peter
thank you. However my initial was about Jaws restart, not
Windows.
Nevertheless this would be helpful in other circumstances.

Why not use the Keyboard Manager and assign a new hotkey to the ShutDownJAWS script? We go through this sort of thing in the forthcoming windows Keyboard Power User Guide book. You could add a keystroke like, perhaps, shift+ctrl+z, or some other keystroke that you can remember, that doesn’t use a JAWSKey, and that isn’t used by other programs you’re using, so that you can use it to do what we do with JAWSKey+F4.

Hi Dean,
My objective is to make Jaws restart seemlessly so that users are
not forced to deal with keystrokes. Some of my cleints get nervous
and lose self-trust when its time to shutdown jaws and restart it
manually.
Since this process is used when installing Jaws (automatically
restart when install is complete), i thought there was a command
line that could do the job.

Hi,
You can kill JAWS by executing the taskkill command:
taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
The problem with this approach is that you will also need to kill
all of JAWS' child processes. When I have some time I'll go
through task manager and see all of the different processes that
JAWS has. You would use taskkill to kill them off one by one
before restarting JAWS.
You also need to be running an elevated command prompt to execute
taskkill.
If done successfully, here is what the output looks like:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
SUCCESS: The process "jfw.exe" with PID 8856 has been terminated.

I would also recommend you wait some seconds after killing JAWS
before restarting it. The first line kills JAWS, the second line
waits five seconds, and the third restarts JAWS. So:
taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
timeout 5
"C:\program files\freedom scientific\jaws\2019\jfw.exe"

They want to automate it and also have JAWS automatically
restart. Their original message said: "Do you know any command
line that can force jaws to restart??" So, they're looking for
automation here. JAWSKEY+F4 only shuts down JAWS. To restart it
you have to either press the JAWS shortcut key (if you've assigned
one) on the desktop shortcut or press WIN+R and enter jaws2019.
But OP wants a single-click shutdown and restart solution. That's
why the shutdown keystroke isn't sufficient for them.

Good afternoon listers; insert plus f4 unloads jaws, alt plus control plus jay restarts him. I do not understand anything about command lines and such, but just use the two key strokes I mentioned above and you will be good to go. Marv Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I have not been following this tread from the beginning, but if you want to shutdown Jaws and have it restart automatically, then use the Jaws key plus the windows key and the F4 key. The combination of those three keys will shutdown Jaws and restart it again. Mario

Yes Bill,
I responded too soon and realized that the
question was about restarting Jaws.
I sent the DOS command for shutting down or
rebooting the computer. This I have in a desktop shortcut with
a hot key to speed up the process.
The force option used to always work in Win
7. Now it doesn't in Win 10.
If some applications are still open Jaws
stops but the screen has the warning about closing an open
application.

Why use such a complicate method to do
something one can do with the single keystroke, Jaws Key +
F4.
Hi,
You can kill JAWS by executing the taskkill
command:
taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
The problem with this approach is that you will also need
to kill all of JAWS' child processes. When I have some time I'll go through
task manager and see all of the different processes that JAWS has. You would
use taskkill to kill them off one by one before restarting
JAWS.
You also need to be running an elevated command prompt to
execute taskkill.
If done successfully, here is what the output looks
like:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]

C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f

Hi Dean, Try running JAWS with the command line option “/?”, without the quotes. It should give all the JAWS command line options then. All the best
