Macro and Automation
software
A macro is a way to automate a task that
you perform repeatedly or on a regular basis. It is a
series of commands and actions that can be stored and
run whenever you need to perform the task. You can
record or build a macro, and then play the macro to
automatically repeat the series of commands or actions. |

Macro Maker |
| MacroMaker allows you to create
macros or recordings to automate
most anything that you already do by
hand. It has been written more for
people who regularly use computers,
rather than the casual PC user. Most
anything you know how to do by hand
can be translated into a macro or
recording in MacroMaker. If
you are having to perform repetitive
tasks, this program will help you
out a lot. The user can simulate a
series of keystrokes, mouse events,
play back previous recordings of
keystrokes and mouse events or
execute some built-in functions with
just a keystroke. You can even store
content from the clipboard in
internal MacroMaker buffers for
later use.
Good, and free, but in some cases
not 100% accurate.

AutoMate 5
(commercial) |
|
AutoMate enables IT
Professionals to build tasks
that automate a wide variety of
network and computing
operations, such as: automated
FTP file transfers, event log
monitoring, data or file
replication application testing,
data entry,
service or application
monitoring, system performance
monitoring, SQL database
transactions, email
notifications, self healing
systems, autonomic computing,
batch data processing, data
transformation, integration of
disparate systems.
It works great, and learning to
use it is not very difficult
(after a few hours you are able
to create quite complex tasks),
and very accurate.
AutoMate is probably the leading
application for macro/automation
software... anyway it is quite
expensive...
