Can I restrict input whilst my script is running?

Hi,

I have a compiled script running on a windows 2003 server machine which I share with two other users.

I have used the Windows scheduler to create a job which run this compiled script every 30 minutes.

I am using keypresses within my script but unfortunately each time one of my collegues logs onto the server via VPN if the script is running they interrupt it and cause it to fail.

Is there anyway of restricting the input of to just my script whilst it is running?

Or alternatively is there another approach i should be taking?

Many thanks,

See the BlockInput command in the help file.

Many thanks.

I am running version 7.3.05 and I have just search the help file and can find no trace of blockinput or anything of that type!!!

Is blockinput supported in the version?

If so what is the syntax for this command?

Many thanks

BlockInput was introduced in version 7.3.10. If you have 7.3.5 then the update is free and can be obtained from http://www.mjtnet.com/dldregd.htm
