wakillon Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 wow, thanks! if this consumes alot or memory, is there another way?Try it first and look at your task manager if it is the case !

somdcomputerguy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It seems to me that a 25 second sleep is way too much. What if it's 24 seconds before the task should be executed? After a 25 second sleep, the task won't be run by this script until the next day.. I'll post a modified version of the earlier posted code. $StartTime = "13:30" While 1 If @HOUR & ":" & @MIN = $StartTime Then ;script code here EndIf Sleep(100) EndIf WEnd - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */Â If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Mison Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Alternatively, you can use Sleep() to pause your script until the time is right. Less memory consuming, but a bit complicated. #include<Date.au3> $currDate = _NowCalc() ; current date and time ;~ $newDate = "2010/09/18 12:05:00" ; new date and time ;~ $newDate = _NowCalcDate()&" 12:04:00" ; today's date + desired time $newDate = _DateAdd("s", "15", _NowCalc()) ; newDate is set to be 15 seconds from now. $diff = _DateDiff("s",$currDate,$newDate) ; Calculates the difference in seconds between $currDate and $newDate. Sleep($diff*1000) MsgBox(0,"","Activated on - "&_nowCalc()) Hi ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
