Title: Re: Any suggestions for scheduling one off
jobs?
Malcolm,
Please take a look at a shareware scheduling application that I
publish called Script Timer. You could easily schedule your
applescript with it. Using its dynamic scheduling feature, you could
arrange for a new transfer to be automatically scheduled if the first
one failed for some reason. (If you can detect that a transfer didn't
complete correctly, you can tell the Script Timer scheduling engine to
reschedule the transfer immediately or at some later time.)
You can find Script Timer at the major shareware sites, or from
the URL in my sig below.
Regards,
Don

and
delays for that length of time before sending the whole thing off
to
the shell. Is there a better way?
