Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a relatively simple way to send keystrokes to an application in a remote desktop? Basically what I've got is 3 pieces of logging software, 2 of which are running on separate remote desktops and 1 running locally. What I'd like to do is have a single button to press that will tell all 3 loggers to start logging at the same time i.e. send the start key to all 3 apps near simultaneously. I can do this if I have the 3 applications running locally using AppActivate and Sendkeys but I can't see how to do it for applications running remotely.

have them poll an application/messag q for the presence of a value and if there start logging

or just send a net packet to each machine
