Restarting a Script

[Spirotot]

I'm writing a script that automatically logs me in to Cisco's Clean Access Agent here at my college campus via CCA Bypass.

The script works well enough, BUT, CCA Bypass (the program my script interacts with) will sometimes hang. And, it never hangs at the same spot.

So, rather than writing individual If statements and timers and stuff in the script for each individual spot that the CCA Bypass program can hang, I'd like to write just one timer that completely re-starts the script if CCA Bypass hangs for more than a certain amount of time.

I'm new with AutoIt, and I'm a a relative n00b when it comes to programming in general.

So how would I go about writing this timer?

If you need the actual code from the script or whatever, just let me know.

Thanks!

Check out timerinit in the help file. And then to restart the script do something like:

ShellExecute(@ScriptFullPath)
Exit

Ok, since I'm still learning how this works, I've got my timer set up (incorrectly, unfortunately), I just want the script to end after 15 seconds (it will definitely fail to complete within 15 seconds... So I'm just doing this for testing).

However, the program doesn't quite after 15 seconds. I know it's probably got something to do with the loop (because it only checks the _Timer_Diff once per loop, and since it can't complete the loop [i set up CCA Bypass to stall at a certain point], it never checks the time, and never ends the loop).

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my code:

expandcollapse popup

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=CCA Bypass Auto-Login_x32.exe
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <timers.au3>
