Can't Get My Script To Stop

[Guest lifefadedmemory@hotmail.com]

I wrote a program that just keeps clicking on different windows. I have it in repeat mode the script is as follow

Sleep, 10000

Repeat, 10000

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

EndRepeat

I took out the coorinates just. How can i get this to stop on command. I Try to run it all night but if I run it too long and I wake up I can't stop the program and must restart my computer. Is their a way to place a keycommand in their to shut down the program? Is their another way? Any information anyone could provide would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

how else can you do this without bringing up a window?

[Beastmaster]

What about to use a desktop shortcut (with an assigned shortcut key), to run a batch, which creates a stop file ?

Stop.bat

Time /T > C:\\Stop.not

Sleep, 10000

Repeat, 10000

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

IfExist, C:\\Stop.not, Goto, Stop

EndRepeat

Stop:

Run, %COMSPEC% /C del C:\\Stop.not, , Hide

Exit

Anyway to do this without closing the application

[Beastmaster]

Start:

Sleep, 10000

Repeat, 10000

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

LeftClick, x, y

IfExist, C:\\Stop.not, Goto, Stop

EndRepeat

Stop:

Sleep, 1000

IfExist, C:\\Stop.not, Goto, Stop

Goto, Start

Delete the file Stop.not and the script will loop back

Or, with the help of the pstools you make a hot key commanded script that fires a

pskill autoit

a little brutal, but it should work...

Yeah, I know the Beastmaster idea is better

Or, with the help of the pstools you make a hot key commanded script that fires a

HotKey command ??? version 2

I thought a second .aut script that is called bye a hotkey using windows hotkey system...

how about pausing the process? (i've a command line utility that can pause any process, and can resume it with /r parameter)

i guess only nt based OS support process pausing!

Hey rathore, what it needs to get a link to this marvelous tool ?

[Guest rathore]

here's the link: http://www.angelfire.com/~tv2/dis/pausep.zip

even I don't know where I got it, the link points to my web storage.

I'd have given credit had I knew whom should I give it to.

Its probably downloaded from here: http://www.codeproject.com/threads/pausep.asp

[Guest rathore]
