Hi,
I've been looking for a bot or anything that would periodically log me into a certain website, but I find nothing for Mac. All there is, is about automatic login at startup, which is a totally different thing.
Does anyone of you know if and what I can use to automatically log into a page every 10 min?
Thanks,
Sergio
No. Automator is an interactive tool. And guess what those site adminstrators are going to do when they review their logs, and see your 144 log-ins per day? They will block you like they would any other robot.
All I know is that I teach online and to appear among the first 20 teachers I need to log out and back in every 20 minutes. Some teachers do appear always on the first page, and they haven't been blocked yet. Still, I doubt they log out and in manually every 20 minutes.
What you ask for can be done, but it requires a lot more information.
Typically any 'login' is done via submitting a form with the user credentials.
Similarly, log out is typically following a link.
So to replicate this you're going to need to know the specific URLs for login and log out.
Once you have that you need to work out the scheduling. Automator doesn't have any built-in scheduler, although a simple loop might suffice.
