Roman 2 Posted June 20, 2006 Hi I'm still quite new with AutoIt and i wonder how to script (most elegantly) this: I want to perform a job (a function or something else - dosen't matter) inside the script at exactly a specific time, e.g. every day at 11:00h. The script should always be running (sleeping?) and at this time do something once. Then the script again should wait for the next day 11:00h and so on... How do i script this "time-query" most elegantly? Thanks for all suggestions! Roman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roman 2 Posted June 20, 2006 While 1Sleep(30000)If @Hour = 11 And @Min = 00 Then ...WendThanks. I did this already, but additional with "... AND If @SEC = 0", because it needs to be exactly on 11:00:00h. The problem now is that if the script does meanwhile something else, it could miss this one second for the query and do nothing.Probably my question was imprecisely.Thanks again.Roman.

Don N 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Why not compile whatever you need to do into an exe and use Windows Scheduler to run it at precisely 11 or whatever time you need it run? _____________________________________________________"some people live for the rules, I live for exceptions"Wallpaper Changer - Easily Change Your Windows Wallpaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdickens 1 Posted June 20, 2006 $FinePrecision = 100 While 1 Sleep(30000) If @Hour = 10 And @Min = 59 And @Sec > 30 Then While @Sec <> 0 Sleep($FinePrecision) Wend PerformFn() EndIf Wend If I am too verbose, just say so. You don't need to run on and on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
