What is the purpose of the login command?

[marciow1]

Using a Windows 7 Pro as a test, I check mark the box for login in the pulseway manager.    Then if I use the Login command from my iPhone, after I enter the username and password: 

If the computer is currently logged off, the computer logs on, but nothing happens on the iOS app (except for the black message that the command was sent). 

If the computer is currently logged on, the screen on the computer locks and nothing happens on the iOS app.  

 

I'm puzzled about what this Login command is for.   Is it to login to a computer for a user without giving him/her the password?

Hi,

 

The login command is used for logging into the operating system (so startup application can kick in and operators in front of the system can use the console session without having to know the access credentials).
