Trying to automatically run a script on a locked pc (xp) at night. Is this possible?

Asked by Rob Marks

We have repeated tasks that we do overnight. The lab computers are required to be locked each evening. Can Sikuli run on a locked machine?

Sikuli script in its current version needs the objects it deals with to be visible on the screen.

So I guess in your situation it will not work. But just have a try with a simple long running script.

I've accomplished this in my network because not all of our machines are required to be locked. Create a sikuli script on an unlocked machine to VNC into the lab computer, unlock it. From here you could have the lab computer run the script given a time, or have the machine doing the unlocking launch an executable. Have the original machine lock the lab computer again when its done (at a given time, or based on the status written to a file on a network share).

Can you help with this problem?
