Wait for an event instead of "Wait some time"

[woggy]

First I like to point out I'm no programmer.

Can someone help me with a script to wait for en event:
Task.Activated.putty
And if it has vent 10 seconds without an event to end the macro.

The reason for this is that I use the same Eventghost profile on 3 computers, and all of the takes a different time to start programs.
And instead of waiting the longest time needed it would be nice to wait for the event "Task.Activated.putty" instead.

Any ideas?

This is my macro for login to my Linux server from Putty:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1462">
    <Macro Name="Putty" id="133" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="DesktopRemote.Putty" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.Wait(0.20000000000000001)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            System.Execute(u'C:\\Users\\Woggy\\Desktop\\putty.exe', u'', 0, False, 2, u'')
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.Wait(0.59999999999999998)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Tabulator}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Tabulator}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Tabulator}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Tabulator}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Down}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Down}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Return}', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.Wait(0.59999999999999998)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'Password', False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Return}', False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

The find window action allows to wait for a window to appear.
You could also enable another macro which then does what you want.

For the specific case the best solution would be to look into key file authentication for a complete automatic login without any keyboard emulation

in putty you can use parameters to login into putty:
make a shortcut somewhere and point it to putty.exe:

Code: Select all

"C:\Users\PC\Desktop\putty.exe [email protected] -pw password"

root= username
192.168.1.75 = Ip Adres
password = password

You should use SSH pre shared key authentication instead.
