Detecting Terminal Srvices Console

[tony_smith]

I have been trying to find a way to detect if the console, for the machine running Macro Scheduler, is disconnected... if the console is unattended.

I run MS on a server and connect to it remotely using Terminal Services. This works pretty well 99 percent of the time. Unless, Terminal Services is disconnected by the system; usually a momentary connect problem.

Things run fine while disconnected, until MS needs to send a keystroke and that is when things become unhinged. I have tried using a WordPad session to fail the job (See below), but with poor results; the script cannot close Wordpad. The result is that many Wordpad sessions are left open and the server eventually runs out of resources and barfs.

Any ideas?
