Vhaerun Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 First of all I would like to say hi to you guys ! I really find your tool very usefull . My question is the following : - i automated a task on some of my computers , but my scripts take "control" of the keyboard and mouse , so the computers aren't very usable while the script is running - would it be possible to run the script in VMWare , so that the original computer is still usable , and the task gets done in VMWare ? I'm sorry for my english . I hope you understand what I meant to say . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhaerun Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 off course you can run your script from a virtual machine But after the virtual machine loses focus ( I switch back to my desktop ) , will the script still continue to run ?

Xenthalon Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Of course it will, the virtual machine is independant of your desktop. You could also try looking into Control functions like ControlSend and ControlClick, those work minimized so you wouldn't need a VM. But if you do pixel detection this is unfortunately not an option.

James Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 If you have a script running in a virtual machine, then it can never lose focus as it is running like a solid machine Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
