Title: [ANN] Script Timer 2.2 released by Apps & More
Software De
Fellow list members,
Just an announcement to advise you of the release of Version 2.2
of Script Timer, a script and application scheduling product for Mac
OS X, Version 10.1 and later. This version adds scriptability as well
as day of the year scheduling.
Script Timer will run your AppleScript, perl, or shell scripts,
as well as applications, at specific times of the day, week, month, or
year as well as at regular time intervals ranging from one minute to
any number of weeks with specifiable daily start and stop times. You
can also use the program to invoke actions when the computer enters or
leaves an idle state. Using a feature called Dynamic Scheduling, you
can arrange for an AppleScript script to schedule on the fly any other
script or application at a time of its choice.
Script Timer consists of two modules, a scheduling engine with an
extremely small memory footprint that is designed to run unobtrusively
in the background, and an Editor with a drag and drop user interface
for creating and manipulating scheduling data files. The scheduling
engine runs in the user domain, which allows it to be easily
controlled by a Start/Stop button in the Editor program, and provides
for greater security. A log file records each action, including error
messages and optional messages returned from a script, allowing for
easy troubleshooting and script results recording. The application
comes with several sample scripts that illustrate its use, including
examples of Finder and third party application scripting, and the use
of parameterized scripts. Also included is Track Timer, a script that
provides an interface between Script Timer and iTunes for automatic
music play.
Version 2.2 includes several new features, corrects some minor
bugs, and restores the Idle Time scheduling feature derailed by some
versions of OS X 10.3 (Panther).
Most significant among the new features are:
- Day of the Year scheduling, allowing an
event to be scheduled once per year at a specific date and time,
and
- scriptability, making it possible for
Script Timer to change its own current data file via a scheduled
AppleScript script.
