schnikies79 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 The below script runs a headless box that is controlled by remote desktop. The problem is that it will only start and complete when i'm connected and viewing the remote desktop. I don't know if it a problem with the WinActivate lines or what, but when it gets to those lines and I'm not connected, the script just pauses. Soon as as I reconnect and tap the working window with my mouse, the script starts back up and finishes w/o errors. Anyone know whats going on? I can't watch all the time. Oh yea. I don't actually logoff the server, I just disconnect. The account is still active and running. expandcollapse popup;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; backup bandwidth monitor pro logs ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DirCopy("\Program Files\Bandwidth Monitor Pro\Stats", "\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\backup\bmp_logs", 1) ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; close bandwidth monitor pro ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RunWait("\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\batch\kill_BMP.bat", "") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; find the current mac address via batch ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RunWait("\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\batch\current_mac.bat", "") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; find and copy results from ipconfig_results.txt routine ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run("notepad.exe") WinWait("Untitled - Notepad") WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad", "") Send("^o") WinActivate("Open", "") Send("\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\current\ipconfig_results.txt{ENTER}") WinActivate("ipconfig_results.txt - Notepad", "") Send("^f") WinActivate("Find", "") Send("00-01-05{ENTER}") WinActivate("Find", "") Send("{TAB 4}{ENTER}{LEFT 5}") Send("{BS}{:}{RIGHT 2}{DEL}{:}{RIGHT 2}{DEL}{:}{RIGHT 2}{DEL}{:}{RIGHT 2}{DEL}{:}{RIGHT 2}") Send("{SHIFTDOWN}{LEFT 17}{SHIFTUP}") Send("^c!fx") WinWait("Notepad") Send("!n") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; paste current mac address into change_mac.bat batch file ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run("notepad.exe") WinWait("Untitled - Notepad") WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad", "") Send("^o") WinActivate("Open", "") Send("\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\batch\change_mac.bat{ENTER}") WinWait("change_mac.bat - Notepad") Send("^f") Send("set var3={ENTER}{TAB 4}{ENTER}") Send("{LEFT}{RIGHT}{SHIFTDOWN}{RIGHT 17}{SHIFTUP}") Send("^v!fx") WinWait("Notepad") Send("!y") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; execute change_mac.bat and finish ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RunWait("\usi_utils\bandwidth_bypass\batch\change_mac.bat", "") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; wait 10 & restart BMP ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sleep(10000) Run("\Program Files\Bandwidth Monitor Pro\Bandwidth Monitor Pro.exe", "") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; display textbox informing of mac address change ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MsgBox(64, "Bandwidth Bypass Utility", "Mac address has been changed!")
kpu Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I think since your not logged into the remote PC, there isn't a session open for your program to work. How are you starting your script remotely? http://www.kpunderground.com

How are you starting your script remotely?Bandwidth monitor pro calls it up when X amt of bandwidth has been reached. It does call it up just fine, but like I said, it pauses.
show Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Hi, I am having the same problems as well. Basically when i am viewing the RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) window my scripts run perfectly without any problems, but when i am not viewing the RDC Window the scripts fail. I get this error most on the 'winclose' function Im not sure what it is but hopefully someone will know

It is best to start a new topic - even if your problem is very close to another post. I has to do with the way that people keep track of "their threads".WinClose should work - even on a locked computer. Do you have a WinWait___ before it? It would be easier to troubleshoot your code if we could see your code :-) [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size]
autoguy100 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Auto IT does not execute the scripts remotely, the console needs to open for execution. If you check my post by my username : autoguy100 you can see my post. This is something Autoit can include in next version. Note: Remote execution is possible if you set Autologon, but i don't want to do that because of security issue.

Many AutoIt functions will work just fine under those conditions. [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size]

I have several scripts that run at night that just do InetGets, move files, gather data, write to files... and no windows are involved. [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size]
