[osg-users] osgposter through Task Scheduler

[Andreas Ekstrand]

Hi,

Doesn't anyone have an idea about this? Basic question is, how can one 
retrieve a valid context without logging in to Windows? Is it even 
possible? I guess this problem isn't OSG-specific but I would have 
guessed that someone here had come across this before.

Even if I enable auto-login, it won't allow for remote desktop login 
since you're logged out again after such a session - this makes it hard 
to log in remotely to check the progress of headless process servers.

Regards,
Andreas
