    <p>farmComm will launch the application(s) of your choosing into session 0, with no GUI visible, but with access to graphics hardware, whether users are logged in or not. It also responds to user activity in whatever session is active (including session 0 or the "secure desktop," when that is the active session). It is designed to launch applications thus when users are idle, and terminate them upon user resume from idle, but those run conditions could easily be altered in the source AutoHotkey scripts.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/r-alex-hall/farmComm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/r-alex-hall/farmComm</a></p> <p>It spawns applications in session 0 "invisibly," but it can very easily be modified (change a variable with the value "hide" to "show") to have the GUIs of spawned processes visible (if they have a GUI). If they are visible, however, they may either trigger Windows nags to see "messages" in session 0, and/or only be visible from session 0 (which, it seems, includes any time the "secure desktop" is visible--for example when a workstation is locked, or disconnected from user sessions, or no users are logged on).</p> <p>At this writing, if any Remote Desktop (RDP) session is begun while processes spawned by farmComm run, farmComm will terminate those processes and attempt to re-launch them to respond to the RDP session, which, if they are applications which attempt to access graphics hardware, may cause them to crash (because RDP restricts access to graphics hardware). Probably this RDP problem could be worked around, too . . . or you can tweak the source to never terminate processes, or never migrate to other sessions. (NOTE: a possible planned change is to enable you to script whether and when farmComm terminates, does not terminate, suspends, or resumes processes--or for that matter, script it to run entirely different processes when users resume from idle).</p> <p>The scripts can be compiled to executables, which in my distribution, they are.</p> <p>The linchpins of this toolset are a particular version of paexec (which launches applications into session 0), and AutoHotkey's very reliable responses to user activity (or lack thereof), and retrieval of system information about a session. The option to launch processes "hidden" (with no GUI visible) is also via AutoHotkey.</p> <p>Disclosure: I scripted (or coded) farmComm, and released it into the Public Domain.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
