hi all

I'm gone to develop an aplication... a combination of autoit, and web.

I have no ideea where to start. It is possible?

 

 

 

I like IT: php, mysql, codeingiter, css, jquery and AUTOIT

AutoIt being a strictly Windows thing, implement it directly on Linux would involve Wine running your AutoIt script as a service. possible, but I would NEVER do it in production. so your 2nd choice is much more applicable - although also your AutoIt script must run as a service.

for watching for the file: search the forum for filesystem monitoring - or just loop over FileExists() with some Sleep()

for running as a service: search the forum for "compile service" - or use SrvAny in the usual way:

start by reading a bit, let us know if you need help for a more concrete idea.

It's probably quicker to learn a 'Linux friendly' language, as you will be jumping through more hoops than at the hoop Olympics!

I think Java would be a good candidate; write once, run twice. ;)

There's a thread on the forum where a guy created an AutoIt script to send commands to a Linux box and return the result to AutoIt.

It was quite complex and I'm not sure how well it worked.

I think it is better to search for a cross platform language.
