Autorun a compiled bot using Windows tasks scheduler

[gotkseo 0]

Hi,

 

I created a bot with Ubot studio 4, and was able to auto run it with windows tasks scheduler using "/auto" argument at the end of the target file.

My compiled bot opened and then ran itself and closed.

 

I need today tu update this one but it's impossible tu auto run it, the bot opens but does not start.

I know that there is a new feature "run scheduler" with ubot studio 5 but I can't use i because I can't let the bot always open.

 

Could you help me ? or give me a way to download Ubot studio 4 please to make me able to update my bot ?

 

Thanks

Just as an FYI to those who want to schedule.  I have a bot that I want to run several times a day.  When trying to think about how to schedule it (I don't have the scheduler) I just put in a delay, exported to EXE and run it on a virtual machine.  Now it runs, waits a few hours, runs, etc.  Just use a loop with a lot of repetitions.  I think most recently it ran for about a month straight.

linkdropper4,

Thanks, that's a good idea.

I wonder if anyone has used the scheduler in version 5 or 5.5 yet.

Rather than using Task Scheduler to start the .exe, have it start a batch file - .bat that contains the path to your exe and then /auto at the end.

 

So for example:

"C:\Path to your software" /auto

It is my understanding that UBot 5 no longer supports the /auto facility, you either have to use the in built scheduler, which is suitable for some but definitely not all situations, or if you have the developer edition I think you will be able to use the "on load" command to achieve the same thing.

There is another way of doing that:

It's not my idea. Found that here in the forum a while ago.

 

ui stat monitor("<script type=\"text/javascript\">
    window.setTimeout(function() \{ ubot.runScript(\'definesub()\') \}, 500)
</script>", "")
define definesub {
    navigate("http://www.google.com/", "Wait")
    change attribute(<name="q">, "value", "Test")
    alert("Done!")
}

 

Cheers

Here are my few cents...as a temporary solution (I hope /auto get's supported in v5) you can use Command Line Arguments plugin to pass /auto parameter to exe when starting it.... This way code won't start when you open it in UBot and will only start when you pass /auto parameter.

 

Here is the upgraded code:

ui stat monitor("<script type=\"text/javascript\">
    window.setTimeout(function() \{ ubot.runScript(\'definesub()\') \}, 500)
</script>", "")
define definesub {
    if($contains($plugin function("Command Line Arguments.dll", "$command line arguments"), "/auto")) {
        then {
            navigate("http://www.google.com/", "Wait")
            change attribute(<name="q">, "value", "Test")
            alert("Done!")
        }
        else {
        }
    }
}

Ubot 4 no longer supports /auto. Why in the world would you deprecate that? to force us use buged version v5?

 

i just need to update one of my old bots that were running on autopilot, but it no longer runs with /auto.

 

There is scheduler inside ubot, but let me see if i understand this: i need to start bot and keep it open to run on scheduled time? If that si the case then i suggest u drop this feature because it is useless. Who in the world will have 10 bots open just to wait and run witht hat feature.

 

Also i see i need to click run as scheduled? So i was thinking, ok /auto is no longer here, i can open a bot without /auto, but how the hell will i click run as scheduled button? Please explain how are those bot run on schedule if i need to do something manual?

Use a batch file with the /auto switch in it.

Thanks KEV ur way worked. Simple and easy. I really dont know why they delted /auto from ubotstudio and i lost 1 hour because of this.
