How to execute commands on remote desktop connection?

pradeep,krishna has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi fellow monks.
I am using Win32::GuiTest module and mstsc.exe for remote desktop connection.
My Automation job is to keep the user logged into the system. So I have to close the RDC window. I used the method Win32::GUIRobot qw(CloseWindow); but , for that it is popping up an alert message. To eradicate it I want to execute the command tsdiscon on that RDC.
The problem is I don't know how to execute commands on RDC.
Help me on this
Thanks in advance.

The problem is I don't know how to execute commands on RDC. Sorry but you're not going to find the answer on perlmonks Win32 knowledge lives on MSDN I believe what bulk88 said in How to set text to text boxes? -- flat pixels aren't windows you can send messages to, they're flat pixels -- you're going to have to run a program on the remote desktop to control the remote desktop by sending messages to windows/dialogs...

Since you're on Windows, I'd recommend looking into using psexec, which is part of the Sysinternals set of tools. From your Perl code, you would use system to call psexec.	[reply]
