Package Command Manager (PCM) for Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT does
not close after completing a job.

Package Command Manager should close its window after completion of a job or
queue of multiple jobs. This is documented in Chapter 7, "Package Command
Manager," of the Systems Management Server 1.2 Administrator's Guide, under the
section entitled "Package Command Manager for the Windows and Windows NT
Systems."

WORKAROUND
==========

Currently, you must manually close the Package Command Manager window after all
jobs are complete.

STATUS
======
