Manjish Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 what do mean by "frozen".. check lines in ur code which make the script pause till a condition is achieved.. like WinWaitActive.. or msgbox.. or i/p box.. or a while loop which never exits.. post ur script for furthur analysis [font="Garamond"]Manjish Naik[/font]Engineer, Global Services - QPSHoneywell Automation India LimitedE-mail - Manjish.Naik@honeywell.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shay Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) i have several "sleep" and "WinActivate" etc... i start my script by placing a shortcut in the start up folder, when the OS is halfway up then the system freeze.(i see the cursor ant the wallpaper) didn't encounter this without AutoIT expandcollapse popup$path = "d:\restart.ini" $ini = IniRead($path, "restart_count", "restart_number", "0") if MsgBox(266513,"Automation", "Automation restart activated " & @crlf & @crlf & $ini &" Loop Remain " & @crlf & @crlf & "Press CANCEL to abort.",5) = 2 Then MsgBox(0,'','Terminating Automation ' ,3) Exit Else ; Count loop sleep(200) $path = "d:\restart.ini" $ini = IniRead($path, "restart_count", "restart_number", "0") if $ini >= 1 then $ini = $ini - 1 IniWrite($path, "restart_count", "restart_number", $ini) ;look for Start then press button sleep(180000) WinActivate("LU-30") $text = WinWait ( "LU-30", "Connect", 60) if $text = 1 Then Sleep(500) ControlClick("LU-30", '' , "Connect") sleep(180000) Else MsgBox(4096, "Automation", "Error: Unable to find -=Connect=- button stopping Automation process") Exit EndIf ; read Sleep from INI file Sleep(1000) $path = "d:\restart.ini" $ini = IniRead($path, "sleep_time", "sleep", "0") sleep(500) MsgBox(0,"Automation",'- Going to sleep for '& $ini & ' milliseconds' ,3) sleep(500) sleep($ini) ; sleep from INI MsgBox(0,'','- Done sleeping !!

herewasplato Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You said that you see "cursor and the wallpaper" when it freezes. It would be nice to know if the AutoIt script has even loaded yet. Can you run ...PStools\pslist.exe against this XP embedded system from another computer? [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewasplato Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) ... dose the script itself look OK?Yes. Nothing in there that could make it hang, but I doubt that the script has loaded at that point your describe the freeze.Maybe you could add a Beep(500, 1000) to the start of the script and compare when you hear that during a normal start up to the point that you see the freeze. Make sense? Edited August 18, 2009 by herewasplato [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense?make lot of sense, but the unit that i test dose not react to beep command, ( this is not a standard mother board ) "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."

herewasplato Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 bummer - then just add a traytip and you will probably see that the AutoIt script loads several seconds after the desktop icons. So, if you uninstall AutoIt and just use a simple batch file to loop restarts; does the system in question ever "freeze"?

herewasplato Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 i cant use batch file for the loop, i have to preform the "sleep" ...Right, but as a test - I thought something like this might do:shutdown -r -t 1111That gives a delay of about 18 minutesAnd...shutdown -r -t 1111111...gives a delay of about 12 daysMaybe you can find some middle ground :-)I know that you are doing more than just restarting the system - this was just a test to see if the system will hang all on its own every 70 to 100 restarts.

shay Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 You could just have the AutoIt script start the app or use go old DOS again:exactly what i was thinking about >_< "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."
