Whenever someone says "pls" because it's shorter than "please", I say "no" because it's shorter than "yes".

This way of communication between processes very much resemble to the communication we do with our mail accounts. I would guess (smartly, no doubt) that was the key factor used for naming the functions when they were created. Information about mailslots can be found on microsoft's site, link. Summary could be that datagrams are used for communication and it's one-way and asynchronous. Attached zip file contains MailSlot.au3, AutoIt's implementation of these functions. Also there would be two scripts in there MailSlot_Sender.au3 and MailSlot_Reciever.au3. Both scripts are demos of the mailslot mechanism. Start both and use former to send mails to latter. Examples are basic and should show what's this about. MailSlot.zip Available functions are alphabetically: _MailSlotCheckForNextMessage_MailSlotClose_MailSlotCreate_MailSlotGetMessageCount_MailSlotGetTimeout_MailSlotSetTimeout_MailSlotRead_MailSlotWriteedit: New attachment. _MailSlotGetTimeout() function added to MailSlot.au3.

AutoIt SysInfo Clock is a small tool in widget style to show the clock, current CPU usage, CPU speed, memory usage and network activity (tcp, ip and udp). Additionally you can use it as an alarm clock. To stop alarm clock tone press the left LED (mail) or wait 60 seconds. The current CPU usage code is beta and might be not working for some CPUs! Main window: Move mouse to area below seconds and press rmb to select different color scheme. Alarm Clock window: Tray menu: Credits: see scroller (select About).

In SMF I work with a single command-line switched executable / script. On first start the main process is called, which than runs the program again with certain switches to create worker-instances of itself. Communication is done with a combo of WM_COPYDATA, switches in the SQLite Database and shared memory buffers... additionally I remember seeing examples using mailslots or shared mapped files. So in my opinion there is no "best" solution, all have their pros and cons. Using WM_COPYDATA you can interrupt the current function in the target script, using SQLite gives you persistent memory and using shared memory buffers you can transfer huge amounts of data very fast. Choose the type of inter-script communication which best fits the task at hand.

That's the guy with the jet, right?

... no, really just an unwanted (but funny ) typo.

Let me guess - you are also working on 'King Lear'. (English joke)

Write a small script that reads each line and replaces @scriptlinenumber with the actual line number. Won't work with the @scriptlinenumber default value for a parameter trick.

Or use function _FileWriteLog. It automatically adds date and time to the log entries.

omgplshelpme, Have a week's holiday to reflect on how to conduct yourself in public forums. When and if you return, behave in a reasonable fashon or you will be removed permanently. M23 P.S. And If they bother to ask I will give them your IP as well.

Please relax and think before posting the next time. Jos

I saw many people look for a way to transfer screen camputres from a computer to another. Here I want to present a simple way to do that via HTTP requests (thanks to Manadar HTTP server example). It's very customizable, there are options to capture all screen or just some specific areas, to capture mouse cursor and set image quality. EDIT: - fixed memory leak in client - add option to get desktop width & height from remoted computer - fixed mouse cursor show/hide I hope this will help some of you. Server.au3 Client.au3

There are already a few examples of sharing variables via memory on this forum but you may like this one. There are 2 scripts: 1. Example_Sharing_Memory_Var.au3 is the calling application (I call it the mother application) 2. Sharing_Memory_Client.au3 is the client application The mother Application is creating the structures for the different variables to be shared across applications (could be more than 2 of course) Once the structures are defined and assigned, the child application is launched bythe mother with command line parameters that contains the PID of the mother and the addresses of the pointers to the shared variables. In this example the dialogue is bi-directional: - The mother application changes background colour as requested by the child application. - The Child application GUI will move position on request of the mother. - Both GUIs will force shutdown of the other application by pressing the Stop button (I quit, you quit…) - The mother application will send any text that is entered in the input field (press enter to confirm) - The mother application can send two commands to the child application, ‘color’ and ‘quit’. Color will force a color change for both GUIs, Quit will be suicidal for the mother application. Pre-requisite: - Don’t change the name of the child application unless you change the name in the calling application The script uses Nomad memory UDF, I included it in the script, so you don't have to search for it.

What I am needing to do is take inventory of user settings remotely (Desktop icons, Screen res, printers, etc) but these are things that are stored in your profile. If I remotely connect to a PC, I will either use my profile or Network Services to connect. I am toying around with the thought of utilizing the AT command after I copy my script to the remote PC and see if that might execute my script under the user's profile instead of mine. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this as well as perhaps a better solution? I have a feeling the AT command will have a slew of issues. Thanks!
