Support of RunKey Option in FSUIPC4 4.936

[ATausN]

Hi Pete,

 

I run external programs on my client pc´s via key input and the RunKey option in wideclient.ini.

Now I want also start an external program on my server pc via the RunKey option in the wideserver section of fsuipc4.ini.

But it seems that fsuipc4.ini don't support the RunKey option?!

I hope I´m wrong and you can help me.

 

Many thanks.

There's no RunKey option in FSUIPC, it is purely a WideClient facilty. You can do what you want and more using the Lua plug-in facilities. Checkout the ext library, and in particular, ext.run, ext.shell and ext.runif functions. Jun a one line plug-in assigned to your button or key will do the job.

Hi Pete,

 

thanks for your support and hint. I will deal now with the lua script language.

Well, you don't really need much of the language itself. Just one line with

 

ext.run("pathname for program to be run")

 

or, if it needs parameters

 

ext.run("pathname for program to be run", "command-line parameters")
