Trigger task when user is not logged on (or locked)

Post by fatt.lib »

Hello...
I've just started the evaluation in order to adopt roboTask in our environment.
I was wondering if a task can be triggered when no user is logged on.
Also what about atriggering a task when the logged on user is locked?
Thank you in advace for any advice!

...a task can be triggered when no user is logged on.
Use system service mode. Read here (and related chapters) about service mode of RoboTask
You can set RoboTask System service and setup initial parameters by RoboTask Service Manager.
If task has some trigger it will running automatically
Also what about atriggering a task when the logged on user is locked?
Locked session is similar to SYSTEM session. The task can be triggered automatically or via network remotely from remote RoboTask.

But pay attention that locked and SYSTEM sessions has some restrictions: system ignores mouse and keyboard simulation. This is the property of system security and you can not change this.

Thank you for the explanation.
Unfortunately mouse and keyboard simulation are needed for the activity I'm testing Robotask, therefore I'm going to setup a test with an user section not locked, paying attention to ensure it does not lock!

In this case you can use RoboTask in unlocked user session only.
