Need help migrate .bat

[halfbebi]

Hello,
I'm new here and please help me migrate this example of .bat in autoit

@echo off
echo Wait ...
taskkill /IM "ipsecc.exe" /t /f >nul 2>nul
ping 127.0.0.0 -n 5 >nul
start "Connecting..." /min /b "%ProgramFiles%\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipsecc.exe" -r "PROFILE" -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -a >nul 2>nul

thank you in advance

Have a look at the Process and RunAs functions.

I can't run a simple .exe, where am I wrong?

RunAs ("ipsecc.exe", "D:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\")

sorry

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

Help file says:

RunAs ( "username", "domain", "password", logon_flag, "program" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag]]] )

So you're trying to run nothing with user ipsecc.exe with domain d:\program files...

don't know the program you are using, but 

#include <process.au3>
_RunDos('"D:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipsecc.exe" -r "PROFILE" -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -a')

or

ShellExecute ("D:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipsecc.exe", '-r "PROFILE" -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -a', ""D:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipsecc.exe")

should be the right direction.

thanks, 
the program opens, but does not automatically take the username and password - it must be entered
thanks a lot

Will you use the standard forums font size. This tiny writing can get very annoying for some.
