Hi all,
am trying to create a powershell Script to auto refresh some or all open pages in Google chrome and others in Firefox.
This one only refresh 1 active page for only 1 Navigateur:
while(1) { # Loop forever
sleep -Seconds 3 #1 hour
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell
if($wshell.AppActivate('Chrome')) { # Switch to Chrome
Sleep 1 # Wait for Chrome to "activate"
$wshell.SendKeys('{F5}') # Send F5 (Refresh)
} else { break; } # Chrome not open, exit the loop
}
Thanks for the help
Would not recommend solutions using AppActivate and SendKeys, especially if anyone can interact with the system. Have you considered a browser add-on that is built to refresh at the interval required:

Hi Rod, thanks for the quick reply
Yes i did try them but the PC need to restart for updates 1 or 2 times a week and will have to activate the extension everytime.
No one have acces to this PC besides when i need to manually change some links.
Thank you
