jjj Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 i have been trying to get windows scheduler start a script that opens a video conversion tool (auto gordian knot) in the middle of the night, and starts a conversion. The problem is, windows scheulder starts the script as a process, so when the script opens AutoGK, no window is shown. I have tryed to use the winactivate and winsetstate, but nothing will bring up the gui. (i need the gui up to send commands to it.) Does anyone have a solution for using windows scheduler? (i specifically want to use the scheduler to save on system resources) thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 You need to give Task Scheduler a valid username and password to interact with the desktop else it just does not have the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjj Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 thanks steve i have set up a hack to make it work: at worked with the interactive parameter, but it would not wake up the computer out of standby, so i have a regular scheduled task to wake up the computer and start a au3 that runs the at command to start the task with the interactive parameter. If anyone has a better way to do this, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
