SendKeys automation

[Silgd1]

Hi All....

I am using python 2.4. I have a python script on an xp machine. This machine is on a network, and is dedicated to running python scripts. I use remote desktop to access the machine thru the network.

I have a script on this machine which uses Cpamie and SendKeys to navigate a website. I use "from SendKeys import *"

Here is the problem. I have the script automated to run, using windows' "scheduled task". When I log into the machine thru "Remote Desktop" and watch the script run, it runs successfully. If I don't login to the machine, the sendkeys portions of the script do not get implemented. Usually someone would login to the machine and run the scripts. This is the first time I've tried to automate a script in the "Scheduled Task".

Does anyone know what could be causing this problem???

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks....

I would think this is because the script is launched in the background or something, I know that at (sheduled tasks) allows the program to be launched interactively, it might help.

Thanks Micmast......

I'm going to try to have "scheduled tasks" run the app in the foreground.....if that's possible.

Hey all......

The problem was with the XP pro sp3 update. You can google a fix for this. It makes changes to the terminal service dll, and makes a few registry changes. Now we can have multiple users running concurrent sessions.
