Run CMD Command in Workflow

Hi @JGebhard , I can’t think of a way of doing that “form filling” from KNIME (are you sure you cannot pass the user/password on the command line to the .exe? ) but if I were to be investigating that, I’d take a look at the utility “AutoHotKey”. You’d have to write an “.ahk” script for it which could probably do the key strokes for you. I’ve not tried it for this particular use case.

An example of an ahk script (for a totally different purpose) can be found at this post

Passwords are always a bit more problematic in such use cases, because at some point the password has to be passed in clear text, but if you have it in a flow variable, then it already is! Passwords are the bane of my “automated world” and I don’t have any good solution to that.
