Disconnecting from VM

HI, I am looking to use a virtual machine to run a program that controls the movement of my mouse. Is it possible to allow this program to function (move the mouse around), then I disconnect from the VM without stopping the program? Ideally, I need to be able to run this program simultaneously on several machines and am trying to figure out if this is the way to do it.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Is this some kind of RPA (Robot Process Automation) software?
    I've been involved in a similar project and it did require the domain service account the program was running on to stay logged in and have an active session to be able to continue, but disconnecting from the VM keeps the session so it should work.

    Best regards,
    Leon

    Yes, I believe that would be the technical term for it. I wrote it myself to perform tasks that I would normally do myself. If I can have multiple scripts running at the same time, that is a lot of work I don't need to do myself (not to mention quicker).

    How do you go about doing this? Perhaps just setting a delayed start of the program, so I can disconnect before it takes over?
    Thanks for your quick response, it sounds like I should give it a try.
