Schedule for more than one time each day

Post by bobox » Sat Jul 16, 2022 5:25 pm

Hello,
I need to schedule the script to run at 01:00, 16:00 and 20:00 every day.

How do I do this in macro scheduler?

Thanks

You could set it to run every hour and then script it to only actually do something if the hour is 1, 16, or 20, and exit if it isn't :

Code: Select all

hour>TheHour
IF>{(%TheHour% = 1) OR (%TheHour% = 16) OR (%TheHour% = 20)}
   //do something
ELSE
   exit
ENDIF
Or even have three different scripts which call the main script, each one scheduled once daily for 1am, 4pm, and 8pm :

Code: Select all

Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR%\MyMoveFile.scp
