about interactive server

[binarydigit0101]

hey there! I am still here!

now, always knowing autoit isn't multi-threads, I need if it is possible to create a server application which permits the administrator to read what it's happening on the server, and send commands to it at the same time.

I think it isn't so easy but I would know if it's possible.

actually I'm using a console script, I appreciate a support about a GUI as well.

thank you so much for your answers!

I can't understand what ConsoleRead does, but you can write using ConsoleWrite.

About interpreting commands, I found this great function from ResNullius (here - ):

;credits to Valik & Mat
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#include <WinAPI.au3>

$sResponse = _ConsoleInput("Please input some text: ")
ConsoleWrite("You Entered: " & $sResponse & @CRLF)

Func _ConsoleInput($sPrompt)
    If Not @Compiled Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) ; Not compiled

    ConsoleWrite($sPrompt)

    Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("char"), $nRead, $sRet = ""
    Local $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile("CON", 2, 2)

    While 1
        _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer), 1, $nRead)
        If DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1) = @CR Then ExitLoop
        If $nRead > 0 Then $sRet &= DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1)
    WEnd

    _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
    Return $sRet
EndFunc

Hi binarydigit0101

if this can interest you
time ago I sketched a >simple client/server script to send DOS commands to a server, and receive back the result.

bye

Check functions TCPRecv and TCPSend. The examples show you how to code a client/server application.

[binarydigit0101]

I succeeded to create a client-server program.

now I need to make it more powerful adding to the server a function

that permits the administrator to read what it's happening on the server, and send commands to it at the same time (for console and GUIs)

 

I would know if it is possible being autoit single-thread.

do you know if this can be implemented?

thank you again,

[binarydigit0101]

is it possible?

[binarydigit0101]

ok, I presume it isn't possible.

thank you all

Yes it's possible, depending on your internet connection speed if you want to see the screen, otherwise there's no problem

Br, FireFox.

[binarydigit0101]

what do you mean?

do you mean I need a screen session to control using autoit?

or do I just note server messages while administrator can send commands?

Not at all. Just understand it's possible.

BinaryDigit,

I'm interested with your project. Do you mind sharing your code with us?

Thank you

Thank you

I don't have any project atm... I like to create a new one if this is possible.

when you manage a server running under a console, you can read what server says and at the same time writing for new commands. how can make D.O.S. inputoutput with autoit?

you can notice this especially in-game consoles.

I know Mat made a Console UDF but I can't find (within a few secs) the git link.

Try this one: https://code.google.com/p/consoleau3/downloads/list
