AutoIt automation freezes

[Natig]

Hi All,

I'm using AutoIt script in order to press O.K on windows popup every 10-60 minutes,

before pressing the O.K button the script runs a batch file that perform several tasks...

The problem is that after about 3 hours the script stops pressing on the O.K button.

If i'm closing the script and restart it, it works O.K for another 2-3 hours...

I tried adding "watch-dog" to the script that restart the script every 30 minutes,

in order to avoid this "freeze", but it doesn't work.

I'll appriciate all the help i can get,

Thanks in advance,

Nati.

I think you need to supply more information. At least a code example.

You can use the AutoIt3Wrapper directive

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Debug_Mode=Y

so your script writes every executed statement to the console.

Or you could use

AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconDebug" , 1 )

So the tray icon always shows the currently executed script line.

But as stated before: Source code would help most.

Marked in red is the problematic sections,

Do you think the problem is because i'm using WinWaitActive ?

How can i improve this code?

The ControlClick section should work on a locked workstation as well (using the popup title)?

Thanks!!!!

If you wish the script to function on a locked workstation then active window functions may fail as they cannot activate above the locked screen.

Try removing the block of code below

; Setting Focus on the window
    If Not WinActive($String_For_Popup_Title) Then _
            WinActivate($String_For_Popup_Title)
    WinWaitActive($String_For_Popup_Title)

Control* functions should still operate OK on non active windows.
