AutoStart

This project is a Go application that manages processes and schedules tasks based on a configuration file. The application is designed to handle process termination, window management, and batch file execution on Windows systems.

Features

• Terminate existing processes by name.
• Close old command prompt windows.
• Execute a batch file based on the schedule defined in a YAML configuration file.
• Schedule tasks using a cron-like scheduler.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.17 or higher
• Access to a Windows system for process management and window handling

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/citizen-nsl/autostart.git
   cd autostart
   

2. Initialize the Go module:

   If not already initialized, create a go.mod file by running:

   go mod init autostart
   

3. Install dependencies:

   Install the required Go packages using:

   go get github.com/StackExchange/wmi
   go get github.com/robfig/cron/v3
   

4. Prepare configuration file:

   Create a file named m308.yaml in the root of the project directory with the following format:

   schedules:
     path:
       batch_file: "path/to/your/batchfile.bat"
       fxserver: "path/to/fxserver.exe"
       server: "path/to/server.exe"
     schedule:
       - time: "12:00"
       - time: "18:00"
   

   Replace the paths and times with your actual values.
