Yes there is. Create a batch file with the following line (adjust the path(s) as needed):

"c:\Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Vegas 6.0\vegas60.exe" -SCRIPT:"d:\MyScript.js"

This will start Vegas 6 and then automatically start "MyScript" stored on drive D.

It is then up to the script to properly close the file (ignoring changes or saving changes as needed) and then exit Vegas. One way to do this is:

// Temporarily save the current project and then start a new project.

// Gets around any "project not saved" problems

Vegas.SaveProject(TempSave);

Vegas.NewProject(false, false);

// Delete the temporary check file

File.Delete(TempSave);

// Exit Vegas

Vegas.Exit();

While all of the above may not be necessary, it works for one instance where I am doing this. However, there is still a slight problem - sometimes the Vegas PROCESS does not end.

For this particular person, I now create a file during the exiting process. If that file exists, their controlling program will then kill the Vegas process (if it did not do so by itself) and then delete the file for use the next time.
