I am trying to create a scheduled task that opens up a webpage that has requires credentials for an http login dialog. I can get IE to load the page, but it will not remember my password for some reason. Firefox does remember my password, But it still requires someone sitting at the machine to click OK. Also, the scheduled task will not even run if Firefox is already running even though I specify 'new window' as a command line argument. Instead, it gives this message: 'Firefox is allready running, but not responding. To open a new window...'). Here is the command I'm using to load the page:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-window http://example.com/
Idealy, this is what I need:
- Load a URL into a new browser window
- Login to a http username/password dialog
Thats it, seems simple right? How should i be doing this?
Armitage- glad I could help. Which suggestion did the job? – outsideblasts – 2009-10-08T18:20:45.493
That worked almost perfectly. This program has keystroke options, where I can tell it to type in the login/password. Not ideal for these sensitive credentials. Also, this program doesn't seem to have options to 'wake' the computer. I actually would like this to run in the middle of the night as a WinXP service. It looks like only the pro version of this software will allow that. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. – AyexeM – 2009-10-08T18:28:04.887
