monday at 9 PM

thuesday at 7 PM

You could write:

Shutdown(9)

Compile it to an exe and then use Scheduled Tasks from MicroSoft.

Quick simple solution.

Edit: Added the Code, in code layout.

-- It would only take 4 scheduled tasks to complete your objective.

check out the date.au3 udf and such

[tilgino]

yes... ok

but i need an command which is constantly watching how late is it...

it should constantly watch out for something like this:

if time = x do shutdown

what is this command...

[Thatsgreat2345]

While...Wend loop combined with an If...Then Statement using the Date.au3 UDF. Maybe if you tried coding something on yourself you might get what you want instead of waiting for someone to do it for you.

Okay well since no one has any ideas, I was thinking it would be something like this:

inc. <Date.au3>
;Run on startup
RegWrite('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'ResoChanger', 'REG_SZ', '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')
While 1
    $checktime = _nowcalc() ;check the time
    $trimtime = ;stringtrim the time so it displays as XX:XX
    If $trimtime = XX:XX Then
        Shutdown()
    EndIf
WEnd

Just an idea. If you have alot of trouble making one, just tell me and I'll try and actually make one

*EDIT* Also, you check which day it is by $checkday = StringInStr($checktime, "Sun");For sunday If $checkday = 0 Then (..) etc

many thx kurt...

it works so far...

the problem now is that my computer CPU needs 100% to do the "while" task... this is bad because other tools should be running in the background... maybe its too hard for my computer to ask for time each 10 millisecond :-(

is it possible to check the time each 30 seconds only once and if the time is 18:00 (hh/mm) then shutdown... the seconds doesn't matter just ask for hh and mm...

another question... what does this line means in your code???

RegWrite('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'ResoChanger', 'REG_SZ', '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')

any hints

thx

Always put a Sleep in loops unless speed is very important and CPU-usage ain't.
