I got 2GB of RAM, I don't know how I can tell how much it ended up using? A tip?

I think the calibre-parallel.exe runs when there is a task to do in calibre. I think there were two running plus the main calibre.exe. I figure two, since there were two news feeds that needed to be fetch, converted, and then emailed.

I think one of them did not shut down correctly? Perhaps a bug with calibre?

In the next couple of hours, I plan to run another session. This time I also created a calibre-parallel.exe -s to see if that helps it shut down?

I am going to be monitoring task manager to see what happens and etc. Wish me luck!

Ok, erm, good luck
Maybe you should try setting up the task to run at the login of which ever user is the first to login?

This PC is running 24/7, so I don't think the login would help, unless it triggers when I enter the password to re-login after the screensaver ran?

I was unsuccessful to run a New fetch in Calibre, because it triggers as soon as you save a new schedule for a new news feed. Hmm?

And I know it has a built-in timer that it will then run again the next day and etc....

I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow again.

One thing I must admit, I didn't have this much trouble with Win XP. Damn MS, forcing us to move on so we can continue getting windows updates!

I figured why most tasks I run are shown "hidden". lol - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...0-d97bde69d060 -- look for the post tagged as: Most Helpful Reply

I guess it makes sense now. I tried another app, and I was wondering why it wouldn't appear on the screen.

I'll keep on diggin. If I finally find a solution for calibre to run and close, I'll be happy.

No rant, just an honest observation. It's a bit clunky. I think it needs a new overhaul and design. When you open it aside with other newer apps, it has a very old fashion design.

Works great for what I need, but visually it looks very retro. Agreed?

If you mean that it doesn't have fancy affects... Maybe.
I personally like the way it looks and am not ready to have to relearn everything because it looks "clunky"

If it was Retro, it would look like Packman with the Packman gobbling up books as it went through the Library (Grid View)

Yes, I did that. Though I used the argument -s instead. But it seemed the the calibre-parallel.exe was still running after an hour today, so I suspect that is what caused it to prevent from shutting down. -- I'd like to learn why?

For Friday morning, I got this 3-step sequence (each different schedules):

Calibre Run: 5:58 AM
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe"
Calibre Parallel close: 6:56 AM
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-parallel.exe" -s
Calibre close: 6:58 AM
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe" -s
I did the 2nd run above, so it makes sure to close any lingering calibre-parallel.exe running, if any.

Wish me luck!

Hmmm - I 'interpreted' the following as meaning any child processes, is the calibre-parallel.exe process not a child of the calibre.exe process ?

Quote:
Cause a running calibre instance, if any, to be shutdown. Note that if there are running jobs, they will be silently aborted, so use with care.
If all else fails maybe you'll have to use brute force → taskkill /im calibre.exe /t/f

Interesting, I'll keep that one in mind.
