Ruby Command to shutdown Sketchup

[Zeeshan]

Hi All,

I need a ruby command which can close Sketchup.

Thanks a lot in advance,

I need new tires on my truck.

Can you be a bit more specific? Any command that would shut down
SketchUp would have to be a system command, therefore, you are either
Windows or Mac. Do tell.

Are you wanting this to be executed from within a Ruby script called
by SketchUp, or a Ruby script that runs outside of SketchUp?

Why do you want to shut SketchUp down programatically?

Yes I want the Ruby script to shut down Sketchup, after it is done.

There's no supplied SketchUp API method to do this, so you'll have to
experiment entering your operating system commands from Ruby to end
SketchUp. Not at all a clean way of doing it.

If on a Mac, you could do this by calling an Applescript. On Windows,
perhaps through calling a WSH script.

It's not one of the documented actions, but the following
works for me in MacOSX:

Sketchup.send_action("terminate:")

I guess I'm missing something.

What's wrong with clicking the "X" in th eupper right hand corner of
the screen?

It works for me every time.
