Details - Schedule - Automation Task Scheduler
|
|
Operations are tasks to perform (i.e. running a program, backing up files, etc.).
Events are conditions that occur (i.e. a time is reached, a window pops up, etc.).
Schedule provides tools to create operations then link them to specific events. When an
events occurs it triggers an operation to begin.
|
|
Each operation can be configured to run one or many at a time. This allows you to
take advantage of Schedules' multi-threaded engine to get things done in 'real-time'
(when operations need to respond immediately to events), or to have operations occur
one at a time (for order dependent operations).
|
Schedule Operations
|
|
Backup - Backup files or entire directory trees. Options allow keeping or
overwriting old backup files, backing up only new or changed files and
has Hidden / system / read-only filtering too.
|
|
|
Run Program - Programs can be launched full screen, normal screen,
minimized or hidden. You can instruct Schedule to watch for program
completion so that other dependent operations can start when the program completes.
|
|
|
Run Macro - Schedule comes with EMac - the
Evans Macro Interpreter, built-in at no additional cost. EMac can completely
control programs and 'you don't have to be a programmer to use it!'.
Note: Schedule is feature-rich even without EMac. But, if you need extra
help getting a tough job done, EMac is there if you need it. For complete
details click here.

|
|
Exit Windows - Schedule can log-off, reboot, shutdown or power off Windows.
|
|
|
Close Window - Schedule can close windows. Also, Schedule can
differentiate between windows with identical titles.
|
|
|
Kill Program - Terminates a program and all its windows.
|
|

Display a Message - Options include wait for user input, time-out with
auto continue or abort, on top or normal window, [OK] and / or [Cancel] buttons,

Schedule Events

One or repeating time - Run an operation once at a particular date and time
or schedule a repeating operation. Schedule is very flexible and allows scheduling by
day of week, date and time, minute(s), hour(s), day(s), month(s), last of month, year(s) and
more. You can even set a job to disable itself on a certain date and time.
|
|
|
When a window opens or closes - Run an operation when a particular window
opens or closes. Schedule can differentiate between windows with identical titles. This
is an important feature to insure the correct operation runs. This event is great
for auto-filling in login names and passwords and has many more uses too.

file(s) or folder(s) are created, deleted or modified. Allows a flexible combination
