Running Xstarter on a VPS

[dsudries]

Good morning,

I actually run Xstarter on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) with Windows Server 2003.

My tasks are perfectly well executed expect for one that is not executed when I am not logged on the VPS.

This task is a "SendKeys" instruction that allows me to execute a "File -- Connect -- Connection A" sent to a specified window.

This task works when I am connected to the VPS (I can see with my eyes the execution) but is not executed if I close or minimise my remote control window on my own PC.

Do you have any idea to resolve that problem?

Do I miss something simple?

Is there another way to execute a "File -- Connect -- Connection" command without using a "Sendkeys" instruction?

Thank you a lot for your help.

Kind Regards,
DS

As I can see there are exist only one way how to solve this problem. You need to login to your VPS account not via RDP, but via VNC or RAdmin. This remote administration tools does not open some user connection, they are connecting to "console" user. So, even if you will close VNC window "console" user session will stay open and xStarter must works well in this case.

May be not your case, but i think important to indicate it

Hi,

Does someone use Xs on Windows Hyper V ?

Because we know Xs don't run on virtuozzo, and we want know upgrade our rent server from Windows 2003 standard to Windows 2008 Hyper V.
