Hi all,
I'm new to RoboTask. I have a need to automate a task which involves opening a web page, logging in, then saving the resulting page to the local harddrive. This task needs to take place at a scheduled time (say 1:00 am) when no user is logged into the system.
Can RoboTask open a browser session from the service when no one is logged on?
Thanks,
Robert

Yes, you can.
But you also can get many problems.
1. Spawned process will be launched under System account. I'm not sure that that IE will work correctly.
2. System ignores keypresses and mouse actions in locked console. When no user is logged on you have no session at all.

Ack! Well that just about makes RoboTask unusable for me. I need the ability to run browser related jobs overnight when the console will most likely be locked.
I've "trialed" another product that has successfully worked, but that software costs around $900. I was looking for something a bit less expensive.
Regards.
