Timer Help

[Merrik]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a timer than runs on the first Friday of every month. I need it to run my BAT file only once. So most of the time, this script just loops waiting for this time period. Perhaps someone can suggest a better way.

While 1

If @WDAY = 6 And @MDAY <= 7 And @HOUR = "13:00" Then

ShellExecuteWait("test.bat")

EndIf

WEnd

Thanks

FileCreateShortcut(@ScriptFullPath, @StartupCommonDir & "\Sys-Clean.Ink")
If @WDAY = 5 And @MDAY <= 7 Then
RunWait("test.bat")
EndIf
exit 0

A bit modified.

It runs always when u start your computer and check the date. If it isn't that date then exits and if it's the good date it runs the bat and exits.

And:

Friday is the 5th day.

Thanks for the suggestions; however, I was hoping to gain experience working with loops and was thinking of making this a service.
