run a programm at a certain time

[Seth27]

Hi I want that my program "program.exe" runs at 11:50 p.m.

I don't want to use the task planer of windows and others.

Can I program this with autoit.

How can i do this?

Thanks

A basic example

$hour = @HOUR
$minute = @MIN
$time = $hour & ":" & $minute

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    if $time = "23:50" Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time" , "The required time is now")
    EndIf
WEnd

It tried this, but it doesn't run.

If I run this script at the time it is named in the script, then it runs.

But I want to run the script at morning and then after some hours this script should run my program.

Look at the TimerInt/TimerDiff Functions in the helpfile if you just want it to run like 8 hours after you start the script

mmhh, I only want to start this program at 23:50 daily

Simple error:

While 1
    Sleep(10000)
    if @HOUR & ":" & @MIN = "23:50" Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time" , "The required time is now")
    EndIf
WEnd

I messed up my first example. The variables should be inside the loop.

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    $hour = @HOUR
    $minute = @MIN
    $time = $hour & ":" & $minute
    if $time = "14:30" Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time" , "The required time is now")
    EndIf
WEnd

That runs... THank you very much!

why do you need the variables at all? Would'nt this work also?

While 1
    Sleep(200); less CPU intesive
    if (@HOUR = "16" and @MIN = "22") Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time" , "The required time is now")
    EndIf
WEnd
