My company uses Ivanti Security Controls to patch our machines. Right now there is no way to start and stop a patch task instantly from the console/server itself. The client machines have an agent that runs in the system tray where the user could open it and start/stop a patch task clicking a button at any time but of course we don't want users doing this.
Trying to figure out a way I could do this with python. I thought I could possibly use pywinauto in this instance? The agent would need to be opened from system tray, Patch button clicked and another button would need to be clicked to either start or stop the patch scan task. It would need to be done silently in the background without the agent window showing. Is this possible with pywinauto or is there another packages I could possibly use for this problem?
