Title: ICE-TCP Pro Startup Options
Post by: tonypopl on August 18, 2005, 06:29:52 pm
I'm trying to
a) Start ICE TCP Pro
b) Logon
c) Load and Run a macro
All from a single shell command line in vba. Are there any startup switches that allow b & c  to be done?

Create a new profile. Set all the options (term type, etc). Set the autologin parameters in the startup section of the profile. Set the macro in the startup section of the profile. Associate that profile with the host in the host edit box. Call telnetpro with the following command line parameters:

C:\Program Files\J RIVER\ICETCP5\TelnetPro.exe hostname telnet profilename

where hostname is the name of the host you want to connect to and
profilename is the name of the autologin profile you created.

Back with a similar question after a year. About 50% of the time when I start using a profile, the designated macro does not start. Any ideas?

Does the login work and just the macro fail or does the login not work also??

It logs in fine. The first time through I just had the macro and after the login a whole buch of characters started rolling across the screen. I realized it was the macro, so I put in a delay 10 command at the top. However, now sometimes it goes and sometimes it doesn't.

I'm not aware of any problem in the macro code. You could updating to the latest version, run setup and cancel out of configwizard at the end). What version do you currently have?

The other possibility is that the timing between events when unix is logging you in is inconsistent. You may need to add some other delays in the process.
