EXTRACT of my post from forum......................................

THE SCRIPT .vbs has been modified because of grubby work by me

Fri, Jun 5, 2009
AND AGAIN WITH THE NEW .sh Linux / .bat Win server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (works in XP desktop and newer)
UPDATED Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at approx. 8:00 PM
Note: Adjust all the lines in the scripts/batches for the X and Y arguments to the
java class.
e.g.
java -classpath "/home/scripJbat" Mpress 50 180
SUCCESS (but with both .vbs WSH script AND a Java2 class together in a folder)
MS Corp.Windows OS only:
(requires at least versions: Microsoft Windows Script Host Shell " W S H 5.6"
and also as minimum level Java2 Runtime Environment JV M of later sub-version Sun Microsystems Inc. JRE 1.4.2):
Robot mouse press script - Download UR L:
http://www.nicephotog-jsp.net/scrip(05-06-2009).zip
or Download URL 2 (zipped "php is the C G I script"):
http://www.nicephot.xlphp.net/scrip-05-06-2009.php
Empty the zip onto drive c:\ with your zip archive decompressor using its' setting "use folder names".
There is only one folder that contains the scripts and must be on c:\ drive at that folder path level. So it should be c:\scrip
A few points about setting up W XtoImg to use with this first.
note: The location of the program in the .vbs for program start
is C:\Progra~1\WXtoImg\xwxtoimg.exe . If you place the program somewhere else
when you install WXtoImg you will need to change that line to the .exe but don't
forget to use the \\ double back-slash (doubled reverse solidus) syntax when writing it in.
1. After install, put in your land based location as close as possible first.
2. Be sure to update the "kelpers" for the sattelites or the WXtoImg program will
crash.
3. Before attempting to tune this robot script-system to the job restart
the WXtoImg program and always leave it in the position and size you have pre tuned
the robot mouse pointer movement to land at for the button press or it will miss when
you use this automation script system.
4. If you use the "advanced GUI" option of the WXtoImg program be sure that it is set
and tuned to that before using this automated script system or the mouse pointer
could miss pressing the record button.
NEXT UPDATED Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at approx. 8:00 PM for timing system at startup
Alternate (easier) M S Win .bat system / OR / L INUX SHE LL and the Java class
Requires a download from Microsoft.com of approx. 12 Mbytes
Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (download rktools.exe)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/windowsserver/bb405955.aspx
and a 1.4.2 Java2 JRE as above.
Alternative download UR L:
http://www.nicephotog-jsp.net/scripJbat(06-06-2009).zip
(so all you need to know now is how to wake a computer and have pre set up a task to start WXtoImg by the .vbs and java.awt.Robot java class)
All you need know now also is how to modify the coordinates X and Y position of where to land your mouse-pointer when running the script.
These two arguments in these lines in the script
after testing where the mouse pointer should land
using test-run.bat first...
XcoordButton = "150"
YcoordButton = "455"
Two things i should have explained..........
1. wherever the window was last opened in pixel position in the screen and (usually size) is how and where the application will start.
b. do not have any other windows open either at startup or when running the .bat
Don't move your application window around or resize it after that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bit more on monitors and sleep...
..."switch off the monitor and forget about till after lunch when I go up again and look at the received pictures"...
You can set the monitor inside windows to switch off as a power saver mechanism until you hit enter or the space key.
"Display(icon)" - "screen saver"(tab) - "power"(GUI button)
See microsoft.com and search for "hibernate" and as it is you want to find "Standby"
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/tabletpc/getstarted/standby.mspx
Stanby is the one to use.
Play with the power scheme drop down list to get an idea of how to set these.
To run a script, you will want to keep the hard drive active so select "Never" for a hard drive.
With WSH you will at least require to use, wscl.AppActivate "WXtiImg [Freeware edition]" to push
the window to the top and alert the monitor(though that may not be required if some auto record technique is used).
It seems i overshot the bit about 137 MHz reciever equipment being reasonably cheap and nasty for the purpose on
the soundcard.
Note: NEVER PUT IN A MOUSE EMULATOR PROGRAM (UNLESS YOU SERIOUSLY REQUIRE TO)
IF YOU WANT THE ROBOT AND SCRIPT TO OPERATE (IT OFTEN CHANGES KEYS AND ACTIONS AROUND).
