May I suggest another approach? Rather than trying to make VNC do something it wasn't meant to do, run another program on your windows box that looks for and responds to the error condition. You can have the program then mail or message you in the case of repeated failures.
Check out AutoIt at http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/index.html for a program that would make this task almost trivial to set up. And it's free.

Hi all, I just subscribed to this list, as I have been investigating vnc for a specific use: I want to monitor some text in a Windows program on a remote PC (or several) on a Sun workstation on my desk. But I do not want to monitor it with my eyes, instead I want to do so programmatically. So that in the case of certain text (error conditions), I want to program the remote mouse to click and retry; only in the case of a number of failures do I want to be given control. I can see how to move and click the mouse from the program by changing C code in vncviewer source, but I do not ever see any Text coming over from the PC; it looks to me like text comes over as bitmaps, this makes it *real* hard to know what the text is... Anyone add text objects to the winvnc code? Am I missing something basic, in other words, is there a way to send text over the wire winvnc to vncviewer? An option perhaps? thanks, Mark _______________________________________ Mark Krieger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
