WBN: Restartable Server Operation for Elecraft Remote Apps

[Rick Tavan-2]

It would be nice if KPA500 Remote, KAT500 Remote, and KPA1500 Remote could
be set up to operate as *automatically restartable servers*. I don't think
they can do this today, but if I'm wrong, someone please enlighten me!

Here's the scenario: These apps all have Host Remote capability. When
enabled, they listen for connection from a client-side instance of the same
app. But it takes two or three mouse clicks to set this up AFTER launching
the server-side programs. If the server computer on which they run suffers
a power failure, it can reboot automatically when power is restored (not
all computers will do this, but many can). However, it's necessary to
restart the app manually, tell it to start hosting, and, at least for
KPA1500, turn the amp back off since the app turns it on during its
initialization process. It would be nice if they had a setting that means
"Automatically go into remote hosting mode and turn OFF the device (or
don't turn it on) upon startup." Then, unattended power failures would be
largely transparent to the control-side user.

If you don't mind a little simple programming check out the program AUTOIT
(do a google search).

It allows you to automate windows programs even simulating mouse clicks on
specific buttons and such, might be able to do what you want.
