How to pass Variable to a compiled au3 that is already running

[Shioon]

Hello, 

 

I have read multiple examples of using Command line to send parms to an exe that is a compiled au3. 

 

question? 

Is this running the exe or sending it to an already running exe?

 

What I am wanting to do is the following if possible. 

 

Multiple computers connected to a network that has a server that acts as a shared drive. 

 

lets say that drive is \\gboTest\testfolder

 

inside of testfolder is a au3 exe that is running and it has a command along the lines of this. 

 

func message ($a)

"writes $a to a ini file"

 IniWrite('\\gboTest\testfolder\test.ini', 'Test', $a, "test")

endfunc

 

How can I have computer A send something to the already compiled and running exe on server A so that one device is writing to the ini?

 

how can I have server B tell computer A that it got the request?

 

and how can I do this without starting another exe up on the server. 

 

my goal is to have only one program writing to the ini files while everything else just sends a request to the exe till it responds your done or something.

IPC.  Look at Wiki.  

You could also use UDP/TCP functions.  Look at Network Management in help file.

You could run a compiled EXE on the clients write to a separate INI per desktop pc, or alternatively to a separate ini section per PC.

 

The compiled EXE on the server has to monitor for INI files (Sections) for incoming, new data. Then process these data.
