Stunt Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi All, I am trying to emulate a logon process onto a unix machine though openssh, as part of a bigger automation process. I have run into a stumbling block, my process works fine while I am physically logged onto the machine, but if I am not logged on and schedule a task to execute the script it does not perform the action, and I think it is due to a restriction of sending keystrokes while there is no logon?? Anyone got any advice for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shevilie Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Run the program as a service.. (Use search) I know that you cant use WinWait etc while logged of.. I dont know about send, but would guess that this has a limit to.

lcgreenwald Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Try using a rsa key pair for authentication instead of login/password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunt Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 You want it to logon the computer.. no.. well I dont think it can... Try and yee shall seeSorry let me clarify, here is a snippet of my code, I have read up on the site and found a post saying that you should try use ControlSend if you want to send keystrokes while being logged of the actuall machine, and to awnser your previous question, no im not trying to emulate a logon onto a computer, but I am trying to emulate a logon process while being physically logged off.Run("C:\oracle\ora92\bin\sqlplusw.exe")WinWaitActive("Oracle SQL*Plus")ControlFocus ("Oracle SQL*Plus", "", "Edit1")ControlSend ("Oracle SQL*Plus", "", "Edit1","sys")I have tried the above but ControlSend doesnt writ the "sys" to the box, any more suggestions? I have also tried the beta vervsion but same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunt Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 WinWaitActive can not be used in logged off mode....I am testting the ControlSend while being logged on just to check if that is working before I test it logged off, and its not writing the test?
