I guess this is not really a question of AutoHotkey but I am no specialist.

I am programing a scheduler with AutoHotkey. The question is now: the program works only when the PC is not in the standby modus. Is there perhaps a possibiltity to wake up the PC?

Not even that. I guess a user also has to be logged in. Since otherwise the AHK script would have to be a service that is also running when logged off.

I haven't found a solution yet, to run a AHK script as a service. But I would be interessted if someone knows a way.

Regarding the wake up: If there is no command line utility that starts a service that does the wake up. You could try "wake up on lan" (or how ever this is named) if you have another PC running in your LAN. That running PC with AHK could wake the sleeping one and start the script you want to execute on it (if there is no login required).

Hi toralf!

Yes, that´s a possibility in a LAN. But I use only a stand-alone PC.
