Automation Options

hungryim

Hi Sven,

I was wondering if there is the possibility of adding some automation options to GSA?
For example, if I were to automatically create some project files using a script - is there any way I can trigger GSA to automatically start the specific projects I created without having to do this manually?

I'm aware that we can use:
"GSA_Search_Engine_Ranker.exe -autostart". To start any projects already active but it would be great if we could start projects which are added to the folder by other means.

Thanks

I just made this for you.

It monitors all the subfolders of c:\Users for a *.prj file if it sees one that gets created then it closes GSA SER and restarts it with autostart.

Here is a virus total just so you know it is safe

Here is the download: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11282572/GSA SER Project Autostart.exe

Enjoy

You don't need it unless you are generating project files elsewhere and remotely adding to your servers

@hungryim let me know how it works for you and if you need anything else.
@darman82 it probably doesnt benefit the entire community, i was just trying to provide value to @hungryim and try and lessen the load on @sven as much as possible so hopefully we can get that platform trainer.
