LoWang Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I plan to make a "server like" application which will run on many computers and it shall somehow "wait for orders" It should run/install programs and commands which will be supplied from a server. Currently I don't see any other way then to periodically check for example some INI file on the harddisk and do what I will write there some other way. Or to put this file on a shared folder and make script periodically check it there, so I would be able to control all the "endpoints" from one settings and commands file. BUT I am not quite content with this periodicall checking some files to check what to do It would cause unnecessary network traffic and besides I think there must be some other way to send some kind of message to a process. Is there any possibility in AutoIt to receive such message from another process? Edited February 9, 2006 by LoWang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you´ll have an autoit script on several computers waiting for doing a specific thing. You don´t want to check the script for commands all the time. So :1. Are you able to start the script over the network? (Only if needed )2. Do you have things to do every time(day, specific time), then you could start the script with a scheduler.Hope that helps, otherwise ...

flaxcrack Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Um. How about psexec.exe along with the TCP/IP functions. That should do what you want.
