Hello all,

I am stumped trying to figure out how I can automate the login/logoff
procedure on Windows. Here is what I know so far. First, I can logoff
the system pretty easily using win32api.ExitWindowsEx() function.
Second, I can auto logon the system (after a reboot) using the special
registry keys (DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword, DefaultDomain). Third,
I will have to wrap everything up in a service, so I can be running at
the desktop and the logon screen.

So the hard part that I can't figure out, is how do I programmatically
initiate a logon, after a logoff? Here is the rough sequence of events I
want to achieve:

1 MyPyService is running (at desktop)
2 User requests an automated test
3 MyPyService starts the test
4 MyPyService logs the user off
5 MyPyService wait's for something to happen
6 MyPyService logs a user on


Any hints or help on step 6 would be greatly appreciated

-Matt
