I was wondering about that above post is right if u just have it on a set time to do a script which would load the program make sure active then push the apprpiate buttons or nothing else control them from autoit its self as i think that it does have ability to use serial ports or usb such things and do it that way.. but then you would not have to actually do anything as stated above other than the setup of the times ... but if such then you would just make a time sheet as to when and when not to do the program(s) also might be able to make it email you or even "IM" you the status over txt msg to your phone(s) so i hope i gave you a few more ideas as to how to go about it as well.. still newb at coding but have tons of ideas just really learning how to code them:(
