"The why" I've been working over 15 years in the IT industry and have realised that the best way of streamlining operations and support is by combining the concept of selling services (instead of hours) along with a tool built for managing those services. For the past 10 years i've been working with some of the leading providers of MSP-tools. The prize set on these comercial tools is quite high and there are usually few licence models to choose from. A smaller it-company will find the cost hard to motivate and in turn have dificulties converting its busines model in order to make more money, classic catch 22 "The how" During the years, i've gathered the pros and cons of these tools, dissected their core and realised there is no magic or rocket science going on. There is however a whole lot of scripting used and that's why i feel AutoIT would be a great foundation for a new project. So, i've decided to compile my years of experiance and create a tool for remote management and monitoring of machines over WAN. Instead of monetizing it and try to compete with the big companies i felt it more efficiant to make it open source and hope for community interest and development. "The what" The following features are under development, some arn't started, some are finished. Check the changelog for more info. Base components - Agent running as service - Central server with MySQL (hub engine) - Management client (AutoitGUI/WebGUI) Main features - Remote execution of shell commands as system or specific user - File transfer from/to agent - Live monitoring of system resources Consequential features (based on main features) - Hardware/software inventory - Software deployment/updating - Patch management - Antivirus management - OS deployment - Disaster recovery - Hardware/software/network monitoring - Wake on LAN - Reporting - Remote registry, event viewer, task manager - Scripting (obviously) Additional features (stand-alone modules) - Remote control - Servicedesk (based on ITIL) - AD-integration Security - Secure communication with SSL and rotating key for every session. - SHA256 encryption. Remmanaut network overview My knowledge of AutoIT is average but i'm novice when it comes to programing structure for collaboration, so if you're willing to help me out in making the project easy to share, i'd be very thankfull. Unfortunatly i'm no php-guru so i'll be concentrating on the AutoitGUI until the agent and hub engine reaches an adequate version. If you feel that this tool could benefit you in any way or just want to join the project for the fun of development, don't hesitate to post constructive feedback or hit me a PM.

Hi, how to make autoit "monitoring" program, Basically i want autoit to autoclick "start" button only when the program is "stop" ? thanks

hi everyone . Learning more and more of autoit and i have to say it is VERY powerful. now im into a small automation project Here is what i plan : i want , using while/ wend to monitor a log file of an application and when there is a line added i need that auto it " exports" that line i need this for an automation of my ftp server. it checks sfv files and when an upload is " COMPLETE " the ftp server logs it . i need that when there is written this log entry to extract it and run unrar is some regex parameters are met. the hard part is the real time monitoring at the moment my code is very unsuccessful (if required i can paste it here) plus after 40 sec of run time i usually get an out of memory error can you please me show some effective ways of to monitor a file and extract last written line (guess using readline -1) in real time ? thx and regards

Hello, fellows. I recently gave fingerbirth to a script that reports out the current files, and users opening those files currently. Also provides a filter for strings/extensions.
