'wake pc and run autoit script'

[Tinkerz]

I am not by any means an expert on PC's but it looks like autoit is the best scripting tool for running macro's

What is the best way to wake a PC and run the tiny script I have written?

Thanks

Hi, not sure, maybe "Send" key, to wake it up, run script...

[Tinkerz]

I am not sure, either send the PC to sleep or hibernate, wake it at a certain time and run .exe file, what do most people do?

Something like this maybe:

[Tinkerz]

I am using the ms taskscheduler to wake the PC, but script needs to delay a bit so the sleep function can work through the process,

Looking at the help menu I can find a pause script or wait command.

Any help please

Guess you meant you can't find it?

Look for sleep()

hi Tinkerz

do you wake up the PC from an ibernation or sleep state with taskscheduler?

please, show how do you do it?

or maybe, if you want to wake your powered off PC via LAN card, then have a look here:

bye

I just set it up from the instructions above

[Tinkerz]

But I cant get it to work, the pc wakes from sleep but the screens dont turn on so I cant see if the code runs properly

The script runs when I double click it, but when i run as a task, it starts, but produces an error.

Has any one else been succesful with Ms task scheduler?

if I'm not wrong, this link explains how to run a program when a user performs a logon, and not how to wake the PC from hibernation.

Also, you say that the PC wakes up, but the monitor remains black?? how do you know that the PC is awake when the monitor is black? maybe you hear the hum of fans or see flashing LEDs on the computer??

I'm unclear on your question.

Sorry it was this post.

What I do is first run a trigger and a autoit script to press the up arrow, this wakes the PC and monitors in plentry of time to run my other script I set 1 min later

[careca]

Sugestion: in the script you send the up arrow, set a sleep with 60000, and then have the second script in this one, the first. no need for 2 scripts to something like that.

Send("{UP}")
Sleep(60000)
;Second script here.
