Bot doesn't run when I close remote desktop on my VPS

I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, so I'll just try to give all the info I can. I've been testing a small farming script, and with my Visual Studio Pro license or soemthing, I get free credit with Windows Azure. Within Azure, it is possible to run Virtual Machines. Currently I am using the Windows Server 2012 template running a machine with something like 1.6 GHz and 1.75GB RAM. Anyways, I set up my SIMBA machine, make sure it logs into the world I want, and that it starts clicking stuff. It doesn't matter whether I minimize the window or not, as soon as I close out of remote desktop, the script just stops running. As soon as a log back on, the program remembers that it HAS A GOD DAMN JOB TO DO.

I used to use this exact method to run Powerban/bot in the past and have had no troubles before. Does anyone have an issue like this? I will post my code if needed.

EDIT: I have now tried an autoclicker, still does not work. I am also using the DirectX plugin if that matters at all

This doesn't have anything to do with Simba specifically, this is an Azure issue. I had the same problem when I had Azure. For whatever reason, processes stop on Azure when connections are closed or minimized, yes even minimizing will crash your script. I never found a solution when I was using it, but I have since considered Teamviewer as a solution instead of Remote Desktop. Since Teamviewer would always technically be "looking" at the screen, I have to assume you would at least be able to minimize it. I'm curious as to whether or not this would actually work, so report back on whether or not it works.

I think you might have given me a brilliantly stupid idea, but since I have enough credit to run two machine, I will try to place teamviewer on each, and make them watch the other bot.

Hopefully this works. I suppose it would also be possible to install a Virtual Machine inside each of the VPS' and have each bot watch itself, but this may also tear a hole in the universe so I don't recommend that option. :p

You need to set it to run as a task in the background; I ran a private server and I didn't have to be connected to the VPS 24/7. It also might be the remote desktop settings.

If you want to change to what I hosted to, I highly suggest them. PM me for details!

Hi, as someone who is trying to get into farming myself, I would greatly appreciate it if you could PM me.

OT: I used to use VM's from azure extensively and never had a problem like this, however, I used powerban at the time.

I would suggest that you…
1. Make a new VM, it's really easy to do with azure and only takes like 15 minutes
2. Contact them and ask about why your programs are stopping when you disconnect from the server
3. Switch hosts

I stopped botting for a week for school reasons, I am back to try again. I think it has something to do with the fact that Simba needs a mouse to be present in order to move the mouse since I am guessing that Simba is not injected into Runescape. This is all conjecture, but i realized through the debug statements that it was skipping all of the parts except for antiban.

Yeah I did the same thing with powerban. I have created like 3 different VM's by now and none of them work, and the support is god awful. I've already contacted them to no avail. I'll see how I can mimic a mouse
