Timeout Chunkvnc run as service

Post by perbandersen »

is it possible to put a timeout on Chunkvnc running as a service, so that it does not continue trying to connect to the repeater after a certain period, eg. 24 hours.

Thanks

You could create a scheduled task that could "net start" and "net stop" uvnc_service

The scheduled task actually works quite well. I've even used it when I'm doing unattended installs for the situation where the remote computer loses connection... I've set a couple of these scheduled events throughout the day knowing that I would only have to wait an hour or so to recover.

Hi!

I modified the InstantSupport.au3 file so that the task of restart of service was added at the chunckvnc installation as service.

I added in the section Func InstallService() lines:

Code: Select all

; Add Task Scheduler.
	Run('cmd.exe /c "schtasks /create /RU "SYSTEM" /sc minute /mo 40 /tn "uvnc_service" /tr "cmd.exe /c net stop uvnc_service & net start uvnc_service""')
And as lines in the section Func RemoveService():

Code: Select all

; Remove Task Scheduler
		Run('cmd.exe /c "schtasks /delete /tn "uvnc_service" /f"')
Service is restart each 40 minutes.

Works excellently, but it would be desirable without this crutch in the future.
