JohnJohn Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Folks: Four years ago, we had delivered a solution witrh AutoIt that required a server-scheduled task (on Windows 2003) to be run. At that time, we noticed that a server scheduled task could not recognize a window easily. Our solution was to have the server inititiate a remote-desktop call to itself for the AutoIt script to run and properly recognize other windows to operate. Now, we are enhancing our previous design. Is there still a difficulty for AutoIt to recognize other windows as a server-scheduled task? Are there any other work-arounds? Is there a simpler approach? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, John Collis
rudi Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hi.Is there still a difficulty for AutoIt to recognize other windows as a server-scheduled task?It looks like. For a customer I coded few weeks ago a script, that works fine to click yes (Oracle Shared Memory Server: "Clear....?"), but doesn't, when scheduled using AT with "interactive", logon as the same user account the console is logged on.I couldn't analyze this in detail, as the work around the customer was given by BAAN was to *first* clear all active connections (server side), and then to stop the ora shared mem service. Then this doesn't show up.So I suspect, that an AT scheduled autoitscript (maybe *ANY* AT scheduled program) has no access to the current console GUI(?) ...The next thing I wanted to do (but couldn't, as this workaround works) would have been to write all windows found to a txt file, then processes etc. to check in detail, what an AT scheduled script can interact with, or maybe not Regards, Rudi.

Well, that customer just sorted out all the trouble doing the last release update.The next one will be postponed as long as possible now - and might be BAAN -> SAP, roumors tell so Regards, Rudi.--SAP: They don't have customers, they have slaves...
