Problems with foreground/background issues

Hi there.

I've been tasked to redo the website monitoring here and I'm running into problems with foreground/background issues.

Can eValid help us overcome these problems?

Thanks for the question PKellett.

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble.

The main question for an eValid-based monitoring activity is whether or not the script requires use of the desktop.

If it doesn't then you probably don't have a problem because in that case the eValid playback will work OK even if you don't have a "head" on the computer at all.

That is, even if you are running entirely without use of a desktop by accessing eValid from command lines only.

But if you DO need the desktop, then sure enough, focus issues do pop up.

Here is a page that outlines how we think about these kinds of issues and how we recommend to deal with them in the eValid context:
