Help with script

Post by krash2501 » Tue Feb 21, 2017 9:25 pm

I am looking for a way to either have the script log off and then log back in using a username and password or set up the scheduler to do so with its auto login feature. If I were to use the scheduler to auto login then is there a way to set the scheduler to run within mins of a dialog button being pressed?

Thanks,
Krash

Basically I want to know if I can set the scheduled run time from a dialog box.

In the the schedule tab you can set when a script will run. I want to be able to set "Time to Run" from a dialog within the script without going though the macro scheduler program.

No, you can't do that. But you could have your script loop continuously, waiting for the time that was entered. You could store the time in a text file perhaps and have your loop trigger some action when the time matches.

This is what I did, but was looking to see if there was an easier way lol.

I have a scheduler set to run every min and it will check for a YES/NO in a file before it runs. Works fine.
