aiwnjoo 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Hi guys, im new to auto-it and was wondering if there are any snipper or examples of such a tool that will automate the {F5} keystroke on a certain interval to avoid my work computer locking after 5 minutes (I.T. won't change this but will allow such a tool on my Home Drive) alternatively something that clicks every interval. I tried in batch with ping and {F5} but did not work that well and the I.T. department was not happy about it as its more hackish. Thanks guys, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawky358 0 Posted May 7, 2010 This will press F5 every 5 mins (You can change the mins to anything from 2 to 60 mins - Don't use 1 min, this program wont work like that) $mins = 5 ;press every 5 mins $pressed = 0 while 1 sleep(100) $nowmin = @MIN if $nowmin = 0 then $nowmin = 60 if mod($nowmin,$mins) = 0 and $pressed = 0 Then Send("{F5}") $pressed = 1 Elseif mod($nowmin,$mins) <> 0 and $pressed = 1 then $pressed = 0 EndIf wend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
