Need EXE to run at start and EXE to run at end

[cybacaT]

What are the chances UVNC has an option to automatically run an EXE when it starts up...and another when you close it down?

I have a fleet of clients who I'd like to remotely manage with UVNC, and I need the exe to blank their screen when I go in, and another exe to reawaken their screen when I close UVNC. I have the exes and they work fine. I'm looking for where in UVNC I would be able to get the EXEs to run automatically at startup and exit.

PLEASE tell me this is possible!!

I guess the alternative would be to connect, run the exe, and just remember to run the awaken exe when leaving. Given there are over 1200 of these beasties about to be deployed, and a few different people who will use uvnc, it would be a neater solution to automate though...

I thought this might be a simple...yes/no...no?

I am not the developer, but this is definitely possible.

It could be incorporated into the original source, or you could have an INETD-like TCP wrapper run your EXEs upon TCP connection / disconnection.

You would have to decide what to do with multiple simultaneous connections, though.

I think it would be simple to add a fourth radio button to the "Default Local System Properties" : "When Last Client Disconnects"

* Do Nothing
* Lock Workstation (W2K)
* Logoff Workstation
* Run MyExe upon connect/disconnect

However, doesn't the checkbox "Misc : Enable Blank Monitor on Viewer Request" work for you?
- or do you _need_ it to be automatic instead of on viewer request?

I was going to suggest the same thing: Enable Blank Monitor on Viewer Request. But I guess, now that I thought about it, that defeats the purpose of automation...

Sorry, this post is of no use.
