Brazen Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I want to run an autoit script as a scheduled task. Does anyone know if this will work, or how I can make it work? Will it work if no user is logged into the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I want to run an autoit script as a scheduled task. Does anyone know if this will work, or how I can make it work? Will it work if no user is logged into the machine?It works file, I have several instances of AutoIt scripts being run by scheduled tasks. Specifically the scheduled task calls a one-line batch file that actually runs the AutoIt script. I use SCHTASKS.exe to set up the tasks. A scheduled task has no desktop, so don't include any Window/GUI functions or it will just hang. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Bert Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 You may run into a issue where the scheduler wants to have a ID and password to run correctly. Sometimes this happens, other times it doesn't.

Brazen Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well, I'm wanting this to interact with a gui program. Is there anyway to maybe script a login? Or if a user is left logged in, can the scheduled script just interact with the logged in console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
