How to run an Automator app at a specific scheduled time?

Hi all,
I know this question has been answered before, but the only info I can find on it is extremely dated.
How can I run an Automator app (rsync backup) at a specific scheduled daily time?

One way is to use launchd.  The easiest way is with Lingon (search in the App store)
Then in the run input box use "open" i.e: open "/users/tony/scripts/rsyncbu.app"

  • How to run an "Automator" application at regular time intervals

    I would like to find out how to run an "Automator" application at regular time intervals, say at every 5 minutes.
    Is there any program, AppleScript or any method to do this?
    I would very much appreciate a help.

    save your workflow as an ical plugin, this will automatically insert the workflow into ical,and create a workflow category for it, then just set to repeat every 5 minutes, or save as an APP and use a program called CRONIX (freeware) to run the schedule.

  • How to launch an Automator App from a C program?

    Hi All,
    I've created and saved an Automator application that I can run by double-clicking its icon in Finder. I'd like to run the Automator application with a call from within a C program.
    I thought I'd be able to run the Automator app from the terminal command line like other executables but that doesn;t seem to work. If it did, I could use the C function SYSTEM(AUTOMATORAPPNAME) to run it.
    Any ideas how to do this would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    -Greg.

    Correction: it seems that Applescripts and some similar scripts can be called from the command line using "osascript scriptname". I don't speak automator but you might like to try it. osascript seems to come with severe limitations though, for instance it doesn't allow user interaction such as dialogue boxes.

  • How to run an X11 app as a normal icon on the dock?

    How to run an X11 app as a normal icon on the dock?
    I don't want to have to go through the X11 app than up to the command, etc. I want it to run as a normal osx app

    I've only got one X11 application, Wireshark. I have its icon on my dock -- I just dragged it to there from its location in the Finder. When I click on it (Wireshark's dock icon), X11 starts, then Wireshark starts inside X11's environment. Have you tried doing it that way with your app, or is Wireshark's behavior in that regard just a different animal from all the other X11 apps that are out there for Mac?

  • Best way to port all Windows XP files, applicaitons and data form my PC over to iMac and how to run those Windows apps on Mac?ns on Mac?

    I have a Windows XP machine with apps, files and data.  I want to get all that over to my Mac, and also run those apps under Windows XP or even Windows 7 on my Mac.  Im wondering:
    1.  How best to get those files over to my Mac
    2.  How to run those apps and use my Windows based files/data on my Mac
    3.  How best to run Windows on my Mac....either partitiion my Mac's hard drive and boot up either Windows or MAC OS, or run some other program where I can easily switch back and forth form Windows to MAC OS, or perhaps get it all on an external hard drive, maybe partition that Windows/MAC OS and boot from that?
    Thanks!

    I agree you would benefit by using virtualizaiton software. Virtual Box is one alternative the commercial apps for doing virtualization are Parallels and VMWare Fusion which you also might be interested in for their support and updates.
    Also you may benefit by book marking and using:
    Mac 101 , Switch 101 & Find Out How Video tutorials
    For your MS Office apps then I'd STRONGLY recommend using the native Office For Mac versions, you can find these on Amazon for less than $100 and then you can run the apps natively rather than having to lean on MS Windows. Also for your Financial and Tax software you also may want to use OS X apps too, for example I used Quicken for over 20 years (PC mostly and some Mac) but switched to iBank. Also for tax software I have used Quicken's Turbo Tax, this also runs natively on OS X.
    In other words for your stated needs I don't see much reason to stay with MS Windows. You may have other considerations, if you do please state them, some may be real issues and some may be easily overcome.

  • How to run Acceleraterometer sample app AppX ?

    Hello:
    I got a sample code for using Accelerometer APIs from MS web site. I'm interested in the Windows version (not the phone version). I have rebuilt it but not sure which exe to run or how to run it. I double-clicked "AccelerometerCS.Windows.exe"
    but got prompt saying this app must be run within an app container... What does that mean ?
    Thanks in advance
    Polaris 

    Which same you have? you can run it directly from windows. Otherwise when you have the appx you need to use the powershell that is included. You can also do this manually by using the commandlet add-appxpackage
    to get the appx file you first need to create the package from visual studio

  • How to run Firefox OS apps without Simulator

    Sorry, just making sure, but is there a way to run Firefox OS apps in Firefox WITHOUT the Firefox OS Simulator?
    I have the Simulator (I actually have mutliple versions), but I would like to see if there is some way to "trick" Firefox into to thinking that it's Firefox OS so I could just go to the Marketplace and get apps.

    You can install Firefox Marketplace Apps from your Firefox web browser itself! You can just visit the marketplace (https://marketplace.firefox.com/) and start using the apps. But few apps like cut the rope maybe only available on mobile phones (hence you may have to depend on simulator)

    You could go with VB.NET except it is succinctly, SH1T! Even the poeple who wrote hate it so much they'd tell you to use C# instead. [reference required] Seriously, it's got none of the advantages of VB6, and all of the disadvantages. I think it was designed to fail.
    C# is just like Java, except different ;-)
    Actually Java and C# are match racing... That is the longer they are developed the more alike they become... ergo they're suffering the wind-tunnel effect... they're copying each others weaknesses. This is a car. This is a lunch box.
    Java is still winning, which works for me, for now... when Java stops winning I'll swap boats quick as look at ya.

  • How to run the PioneerCyclingJSP and MotorPriseJSP modules at a time

    Guys,
    I would like to run the PioneerCyclingJSP and MotorPriseJSP modules at a time.
    Could you please suggest me the steps to run both servers at same time on JBOSS 5.0 with ORACLE.
    How to run a more that one server instance...
    Thank you

    You should be able to include both modules when building your ear file. Then both the module's war files will be created in the ear file. Access both the applications with their respective /PioneerCycling or /motorprise ( look for context root in application.xml)
    If you want to run each application on different server, then
    1. create 1 individual instances of jboss server for pioneer and another for motorprise
    2. create additional dynamo server using command makeDynamoServer.bat motorprise 8861 8851
    3. deploy each one on respective server folders in jboss
    Use the appropriate ports to access ( say for ex:)
    localhost:8860/pioneer
    or
    localhost:8861/motorprise

    Yes, there is: on two separate computers.
    You cannot run two versions of Dreamweaver simultaneously on
    the same
    computer. They can coexist side by side, but the operating
    system will
    not let you run them together.

  • How to run Adobe Air App as Windows Service

    I am working on Adobe Air application. Everything about coding and configuration have been good so far but I have some major road blocks down the road:
    1. Schedule my application to run at certain time.
    2. Run the application in the System Tray like a Daemon app
    Does Adobe support for configuring the application to run in System Tray like a Gmail notifier app now? If it does, is it possible for me to have it configure for both Windows and Mac systems?
    If anyone has any pointers or tips, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Last night I got some time to try out your example from "Working with the dock and the system tray"
    It is really impressive to see how easy you can animate the icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't particularly achieve my goal to have a cross-platform taskbar app running.
    I tried to work with Java yesterday and got their Taskbar module working on both platforms. It solves the basic issue. But then I realize Java is missing the Webkits Adobe Air is offering. So I need two Apps in order to achieve the goal to re-use my web app on the desktop. Now I am considering to learn more about the extend feature you mentioned to let the Java application works like a remote control for the Air application's instances.
    So here are some of my current concerns: is it possible to be able to have input from java app into air application's elements? Does Adobe's intergrated runtime support incorporating Java as part of the app like it does with SWF and javascript? Or is there any bridge I can use to have the two applications communicate with one another?

    1) In Visual Studio, create an appx package (Project -> Store ->Create App packages -> Not for upload)
    2) Zip up the folder of the app package
    3) Send to target machine
    4) Unzip app package
    5) Right-click Add-AppDecPackage.ps1 -> Run with Powershell (must be an admin)
