Topic: Scheduler Questions Posted: 09 Sep 2008 at 4:06pm |
Ok, couple quick questions on the scheduler. If you shut off your computer and restart it the next day, will the scheduler start up on its own when its show time? or do you have to open it up?
If you have 2 shows back to back. What happens if the first show runs over into the second show? I think I read it plays the song till the end if it falls on over the end time. One wishlist Item for the scheduler....be able to minimize it...if this isn't already on the list. But knock on wood, I just tested it with a few sequences and no bugs, although I dont have any controller hooked up to the computer though. |

1. You will need to reopen the scheduler after a reboot. 2. The first show will finish the current song at the end time and then will play the close sequence for that show (if one is specified) and will return to the scheduler job queue which will see the next show and start the next show right away.

You could put a Scheduler shortcut in the Startup folder or create a Scheduled Task in Control Panel to start the scheduler one hour before showtime.
(that won't help you with the "Start" button that still needs to be clicked) Edited by JonB256 - 10 Sep 2008 at 2:22pm |

The problem, even though you have it in the startup folder, is that you still need a way of clicking that START button to enable the scheduler.

It works so well for this sort of thing... the City of Plano Texas School District uses it to image all 30,000 of it's pcs. It runs driver setups and stuff durring the imaging... (I'm a network engineer)

so will it start up the program at a certain time as well as virtually push the start key? Or do I still need to still put Scheduler in the start-up folder?

So playing dumb here for a minute......
So basically I hit "record" on the program and it saves what I do with my mouse until I tell it to stop recording. Man, if thats the case, that would be great to prank someone on their computer.. |
