Simple Script Runner

[danharold]

I have a few scripts that I like to run on a periodic basis, and I'm also interested in viewing their console outs to make sure that everything is running smoothly.

I got a little tired of keeping multiple Scite windows open to monitor their console outs and rather than develop GUIs for all my scripts or compile them as console applications I made a general purpose GUI that I can point to any of my scripts.

I thought I would post it in case it would be useful to others. In my setup I have it compiled to EXE so I can just run multiples of them and point them to each script that they need to run.

As a bonus you can edit your scripts on the fly and they will continue to run on schedule without having to re-compile/etc.

The GUI has two buttons, one to select the path to the script you want to run and the other to specify how long it will wait before running the script again.

Rather than starting a new thread I guess I can just post additional projects to this one.

Here is a Hex/Decimal/Binary conversion dialog I made that updates while you type in any of the fields, made to better familiarize myself with how different values in each system relate to each other and to make quick conversions when necessary.
