Hello,
I am trying to get some automated tasks being executed on different guest machines running simultaneously on the same host. My design approach, so far, is to have a software running at the host which would cycle through all guests and interact as if it was a regular user (sending keystrokes and mouse movements/clicks) on each of the guests. This, of course, would work, but it limits the input to one guest at a time, can bring up some problems if some delay on focusing any of the guest occur and it kills this host machine im using from being able to be usable while the application is running.
What I am trying to find is a solution to interact, from the host, directly with each of the guests input interface (if there´s such interface). I´m really new to vmware, so I´m not quite positive this is possible, but from what I´ve seen the vmware application running on the host just relays all input information to the guests whenever it´s on focus and the mouse is hovering it.
My goal is to write an application that launches several threads, each thread responsible to feed on of the running guests, but I really don´t know a way to do it so without bringing each guest window to the front and mimicking a regular human input. I´ve googled a lot about it and took a look at vmware api, but I couldn´t find anything useful so far.
Does anybody knows if there´s a way to input into a guest vm without focusing its window? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
