Adrian Sutherland, of BREXX fame, has a tool he uses to automate Hercules when running under contributions of GitHub Actions. He uses it to build BREXX under VM/CE CMS in a GitHub Linux instead, but

If you use it as a mailing list, which is what it really is (with a bad web front-end), you'll have their email address in your email. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: Is it possible to start VM/CE unattended?
Hello, Thank you for your interesting reply. I never tried FORCE as a default because I thought it would kill all spool files. Of course VM/CE has a modification to set the default response to that

Another approach is to leverage Windows directly. Using ooRexx you could control windows e.g. via OLE. https://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/wu/lehre/autowin/material/old/folien/Automatisierung_07.pdf You

Re: Is it possible to start VM/CE unattended?
Bertram, Well the vandal in me says why not just add a "/FORCE" into hercules.rc before the "/enable all". VM should still start, the force will produce a "missing user-id" error if the spool is OK,

Why not run a PRO version of windows where you can schedule updates? Or set up a group policy task to close Hercules before a re-boot. You can perhaps use the web interface and WGET to post Hercules
