Time-aware script?

[Diana (Cda) 1]

Is there a way to word a script so that it runs only between, say, 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., or whatever times we designate?

Also, for a second script, that the times be limited but also limiting it to certain days or weekdays or weekend days?

Thanks!

There are plenty of _Date/Time functions in the help file... that and AdlibEnable() to check a function that checks those dates/days/time at a specific interval, should be all you need.

I'm sorry, do you have an actual example, by any chance, of something that will work to do this? It's becoming a pain to admit it but I look over the help file and find it quite difficult to work with. Granted, I don't seem to be a natural programmer; however, once I have a bit of code that works, thankfully I seem to be able to modify it fairly successfully. This is going to be pretty complex code, I have a feeling ... <sigh>

Thanks.

Do you want the script to be launched by task scheduler?

- or -

Do you want the script to run continuously?

If so you could do:

#include <Date.au3>

$startDateTime = "2007/09/18 9:00:00"
$endDateTime = "2007/09/18 9:38:00"

While 1

    While _DateDiff ( 's', $startDateTime, _NowCalc ()) > 0 AND  _DateDiff ( 's', $endDateTime, _NowCalc ()) < 0
        ;Insert code here
        MsgBox(0,"","Program Running")
    WEnd

WEnd
