fub68 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I am having difficulties running a script on a headless workstation. I understand the implications of running scripts on a locked workstation (https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_my_script_work_on_a_locked_workstation.3F), but I still can't get this to work. Here is the code I am trying to run: if WinExists($winName) Then DebugOut("exit portfolio trader") ControlSend($winName, "", "menuStrip1", "!fe") DebugOut("") Sleep(1000) DebugOut("confirm stop auto-trading") if WinExists("MultiCharts .NET64", "Do You want to stop portfolio strategy calculation") Then ControlSend("MultiCharts .NET64", "Do You want to stop portfolio strategy calculation", "", "y") EndIf DebugOut("") DebugOut("wait for auto-trading to stop") Sleep(2 * 60 * 1000) DebugOut("") DebugOut("confirm file save") if WinExists("MultiCharts .NET64", "Portfolio workspace has not been saved") Then ControlSend("MultiCharts .NET64", "Portfolio workspace has not been saved", "", "n") EndIf DebugOut("") EndIf And here is what happens: if I start the script with the remote desktop session open, it works just as expected if I start the script with the remote desktop session closed, nothing happens What's even more puzzling is the fact that I have a quite similar script running immediately after my workstation boots up, and that script does not have any issues. This is on Windows 10 (1803), and the latest stable AutoIt version (3.3.14.5). What am I missing? Any pointers highly appreciated. Thank you, best regards, Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
