Hence every time you start the servers using '''Server_Start.bat''' or '''disk_start.vbs''' Cron will run.

=== stop_cron.bat ===
When you stop the servers, you'd also want to stop the unidelay process. The file temp.txt is used to break the loop. After killing unidelay.exe the file content is checked; if a value other than "run" is found it breaks the loop in run_cron.bat.
 
UniServer\'''stop_cron.bat'''
<pre>
rem ## update temp file to stop
(set /p dummy=stop) >temp.txt <nul
 
rem ## kill off cron
udrive\home\admin\program\pskill.exe unidelay.exe c
 
exit
</pre>
 
Alternatively, the two lines in stop_cron.bat can be placed in Stop.bat; add them just below line ''':END'''.

If you want a portable version of Drupal copy the folder '''UniServer''' and all its content to your USB memory stick that’s it. Don’t expect fantastic speeds however it is usable.
