How to run script in specific times by itself

[PennyDreadful]

I have this script I would like to know how can I run it in specific times in each day of the week for example on sunday runs at 6 am and 5 pm and each other day has specific times. And stay running all the week days no need to launch it each time.

Anyone can help with it I tried many ways.

@PennyDreadful, welcome to AutoIt and to the forum.

regardless if your code and configuration are the optimal for the task at hand, AutoIt provides you with time macros, so you can easily tell what the current time is. look at the help file: AutoIt \ Language Reference \  Macros. notice @YEAR, @MON, @MDAY, @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC and others. a simple If..Then check at convenient intervals should do the trick.

[PennyDreadful]

@orbs  I want to use the if...then command to compare the system time to a specified time so that the program can't run before or after that time. how can I do this using the macros you specified? Also how to define a macro to specific time? 

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks !!

here is a simple example:

While True
    If @WDAY = 1 And (@HOUR = '06' Or @HOUR = '17') And @MIN = '00' Then ; start on Sunday at 6:00 and 17:00
        ; scheduled action here
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000 * 60)
WEnd

i trust the condition line is self-explanatory. what is important here is the Sleep() call. it is used for two purposes:

1) prevent your script from hogging the CPU while doing nothing

2) make sure the action does not run twice for the same scheduled time, in case it takes less than one minute to complete.
