Going to check out Rads trick.
Well the automation is looking for a program called connect remote, a communications application from sterling comerce.
The script I have just looks for the application, and then opens it, and does a CTRL-C for a connection.
The problem I have is that the users do not want it running if they happen to be on the system, so instead of like mimizing they just close it, and then I have to call them all that did.
If I could have the application auto minimize that application, or make sure they do not close the application then I would be fine.
Another option is to have the script on a timer to loop and look for the files that I need, and if the file has not been transmitted yet then reopen the application and try another connection.
