PcExpert Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hello, Normally a script stops running when a user logs out. But I want the script to continue, even if the user logs out. But how can I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDod Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hello, Normally a script stops running when a user logs out. But I want the script to continue, even if the user logs out. But how can I do that?I do not think you can. I am sure that someone has to be logged in for a script to run. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.

PcExpert Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 But can't you even open or close a CDROM drive if there's nobody logged in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDod Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 But can't you even open or close a CDROM drive if there's nobody logged in?Try it and see. All you have to do is compile your script, schedule it to run in 5mins time then log out. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.

MHz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 But can't you even open or close a CDROM drive if there's nobody logged in?If you execute your script as a GPO startup/shutdown script then yes. There is certain precautions of what a script can do or not. Else those spyware and virus folks would demolish our systems (and they would).

He gave you the bone, now it's time to dig . Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

MHz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 If you type gpedit.msc into the run box then choose Scripts(Startup/Shutdown) under the Computer Configuration -> Window Settings branch then you can setup a Startup/Shutdown script. This will run a script under the system account. This is accesed under XP Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 The script would either need to run as a service, or you could try the task scheduler. I've never tried to use the task scheduler to do what you are attempting, so you would need to check it to see. If you want information on running a script as a service, you will need to do a search for it. Microsoft has a tool, but I don't remember the name of it.

MHz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Or I could be wrong (looks like he has a bag of bones )... Well, to script from a users account into the system/default users account then yes. Just bones perhaps, but system protection is a priorty from preventing a script from doing too much. Especially when a system is not logged on.
