Run .app at specific time

How do I get an app I have made in Automator to run at a specific time?
I want to do something like cron jobs.

Use Lingon or set an iCal alarm to launch it.

  • Automatically open and quit app at specific times

    I want to open the DVD Player app at a specific time in the morning and have it play a DVD all day (it's looped). I then want the app to quit at a specific time at night. The computer will go to sleep from when the app quits until right before it opens (I have that part figured out).
    Can someone show me how to open and quit the app at specific times or point me somewhere where I can learn how to do this? I'm an AppleScript newbie, so explanations are grateful. I will be using a Mac Mini for this installation.
    Thanks!

    Use iCal alarms to run the following scripts:
    tell application "DVD Player" to run
    tell application "DVD Player" to quit
    Each line is a separate script.

  • Interface to run at a specific time

    Hi
    I am trying to let a interface run at a specific time, I have setup the bpm and will probable use the wait step? Is this the way to go, because I was thinking of setting my sender adapter to run let's say every 2 hours and then when it reach 10pm it will let all the data go to the end point?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

  • FDM Script - Set to run at a specific time of day??

    Can you set an FDM script to run at a certain time of day (based on
    server time)? I've currently got a Custom/General script I'd like to
    run once a day at a set time.
    Thanks!

    You need the use task manager for that.
    I suggest you look in the admin guide for more info.
    If I’m not mistaken, you need to enable in the application setting and then you can use it from the tools menu in the Workbench.

    hi everyone
    I want to design an application for storing appointments.
    Also, i want from my application to show an alert at a specific day and time.
    so any one can give me ideas how to implement this ?
    * I came up with two idea but i don't know if J2ME can do that or not
    1) make my application running in background all the time
    2) make my application store the appointments inside the phone Calendar, so the phone will take the responsibility to show the aler

  • Applescript running at a specific time of day

    I have a headless server. If it fails to shut down I want to run script that would force it to shut down.
    The shut down script I have.
    tell application "System Events"
    shut down
    end tell
    or if needed
    do shell script "shutdown -h now" password "YourAdminPwd" with administrator privileges
    However if I would like his to execute at lets say 24.00 hours what would I need to do to have that happen?
    Do I need to have it run to do so?
    What script?
    See I do not want to use iCall to execute it as this might be the reason the shut down failed in the first place (the server sometimes hangs on shut down as a programme wants a confirmation). and than the script does not run (is what is happening at the moment if I simulate a hanging program)
    Thanks

    Thanks Andrew for your help

    I trust you're aware of the consequences of the "quit without saving" command -- any open documents with unsaved changes will be lost -- but it would appear that this is not an issue for you in this case. Others should be forewarned.
    I am and yes no issue as the server is doing its stuff 'serving'. if it hangs on lets say an email, it wil send it again next time it is up as Mail has it already in the outbox. (mail gets generated by a script, so it could only hang because of my internet connection being down). ditto with Fax, answering machine print-servers etc.

    In repeated tests, I intentionally left unsaved documents open in both Mail and TextEdit. On a schedule I chose in iCal, each time, as hoped for, all applications quit and my Mac immediately shut down, and did so without an application warning or a shut down warning dialog appearing.
    it works for me too!
    Andrew99 wrote:
    tell application "Finder"
    shut down
    end tell
    If my scripting knowledge is correct, than this line is the equivalent of me telling the machine to shut down using te 'Shut Down' command. correct? this is not a "Killall" type command?
    So it is normal 'soft' shut down, the only difference being that it skips the dialogue box bit.
    Am I correct?
    And thanks for taking the time!

  • TSQL to know if an update was run at a specific time

    Hello,
    I am using SQL 2008 R2 SE and would like to know if I will be able to trace with a tsql if a record in a table was updated from an older time. Like in table abc if a record was updated on jan1, 2014? Is this possible.
    Since I am using SE i know I cant use features like change data capture.

    Yes. Its an additional overhead. If  you've designed tables which has updatetimestamp field and you've logic to do update/Insert statement then it holds good in your case.
    I hope this is not in your case hence triggers are the only way to capture the intended results.

  • How can i set a specific time for a transaction code to be run?

    I want to know if a certain Transaction Code (not only the customized tcodes) could only be run on a specific time (ie. 4pm to 6am only)

    There are two ways to achieve the purpose you wanted:
    1. If the work to be done by this Tcode can be processed automatically without any interactive session (dialog user) then I would suggest it to process as Batch Job in the time period you specified. And make sure that none of the users are not having corresponding authorization to execute the same task in foreground.
    2. If you need the Tcode to be executed only when you can monitor then the best way is to monitor the users containing the Tcode through SM20 audit log as a Mitigating control.
    No such facility is currently available to protect a Tcode for a particular time interval in a day. You may write a message to SAP for suggestion.

  • Scheduling a process chain running in a specific hour

    hi,
    Is there any other way to schedule the process chain to run in a specific time besides using different meta chains to call the main process chain to do the loads separately.
    Can we do this by using one main process chain?
    for example, this is performed daily (hourly load: 4am load, 9am till 9pm load).
    willie

    Hi,
    <b>Process Chains</b>:
    From 3.x onwords to automate loads as well as process like Openhub,ababp
    programs or activations or etc., We are using this process chains.
    Coming to the major advantage
    Like eariler infopakge groups if any pak fails we need to trigger all the loads
    manully .wher as in Pchaing just correct that particular ipak and repaeat from that
    particular process .it will take care abt remaing subsequent chain .
    And also we can trigger parallel loads as well in this. Its much user friendly in monitoring.
    1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
    You do so by having the Job that start the PC start after an Event.
    Then you define your set of job's (thru SM37) and make sure these jobs fire the event that starts the PC.
    There is an ABAP program you can use that fires events (FM -> BP_EVENT_RAISE).
    2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
    3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
    You can Schedule process chain in background by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
    Hope it helps.

  • My late 2011 MacBook Pro 4 gig RAM is running very slowly, crashing very often. Repaired permissions, repaired disc, updated to Mavericks, uninstalled Blackberry Desktop.  Can only run one app at a time, barely.

    Activity monitor shows RAM usage at between 3 and 3.95 most of the time, even with no apps running.  Hard drive has plenty of free space.  Chrome crashes it the most, but any time I run more than two apps at a time, it crashes.  It cannot ever complete a Time Machine backup.  That leaves it dead in the water after a few minutes.  When I say crash, I mean totally unresponsive, even when left alone for hours.  Only a hard reset works.  Then, it is hit or miss when it comes to rebooting.  Often, it crashes at the startup login screen, and often it doesn't even make it that far.  Sometimes, the computer spontaneously restarts itself.  I've looked at the forums, and tried everything that I've seen suggested. I've left it alone overnight, hoping that it was just indexing, but no dice. I even used the sudo purge command once.  That cleared up some RAM for a moment, but didn't affect the performance issues.  I am aware that the RAM usage may have nothing to do with it, but that's the only clue I have.  It is a miracle that I'm even able to finish typing this message, since right now I have Safari and Mail open at the same time!  I've turned off Drop Box.  Every application loads painfully slowly, and then any activity, including typing, is often interrupted by the spinning pinwheel of death.  Sometimes, the problem resolves for a few minutes, and then returns with a vengance.  Help!

  • Is there a way to have an iPad run only 1 app at a time?

    I am a tech support person and teachers are asking me if we can have a students iPad run only one app at a time. For instance, a group of students in biology would be allowed to run only the app for their biology book.
    Students have gotten so distracted during classtime with iMessage, web browsing, videos and games that it becomes virtually impossible to keep them on task in the classroom.
    I am aware of adding profiles to the devices, but this profile would only be for the biology class. It would then have to be removed or deactivated upon leaving the class.

    You can restrict iPads running iOS 6 to a single app via Guided Access:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
    but that requires reconfiguration of the iPads whenever you want to set it up or deactivate or change it. There may be a mobile device management (MDM) system that would allow you to push out such changes "on the fly" but I can't say with certainty. Someone else here or in the iPad in the Enterprise forum may know.
    Otherwise it may be necessary to implement an administrative solution such as banning use of iPads in class or enforcing consequences should a student be using the iPad for inappropriate functions.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

    Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

    IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
    Control-Command-Eject
    Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
    Control Option-Command-Eject
    Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer

  • Create a daily report that shows IIS App Pool and Site States/Health at a specific time.

    Hi All,
    I need to create a report that will be sent out by 6AM everyday to a DG. The report needs to show the Health / State of selected Application Pools, Sites, and Windows services running on ~20 production servers. The servers show up
    in SCOM just fine. ('Application Pool State', 'Web Site State', etc.) I can see what I need in the Monitoring view, but did not find a way to create the report I need in Reporting or Authoring.
    I've looked through the documentation and the forums and have not found what I need...at least I don't think so.  I just did not see how I can capture the Health/State at a specific time for the selected Objects and send out
    the results.
    Seems like this would be a common request. Basically, we just need to know that our web applications are running before the start or business, without manually logging in to each server and typing a report. 
    I've scripted some of what we need with WMI/PowerShell, and piped out to an email. The problem is that several of our servers our locked down or don't have the appropriate components installed to work with remote scripting. (don't ask...life in a
    big corporation!)
    Since we have SCOM installed throughout the network, I am hoping it will get us the info we need. Any help or ideas would be very appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hello Zrider,
    Well, first of you need to make sure you have the Reporting feature installed on SCOM.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh298611.aspx
    Next, try navigating to the Reporting node, then go to the Microsoft Generic Library report folder and open the Health report.
    Now, select Object.
    Click Options in order to select the required Classes. Type 'Application Pool' for example. Select the version you want and click OK.
    Now, click Search. Select the instances you want.
    Go back to Options and type and select the class 'Web Site'. Apply the filter then Search. Repeat the process for any other class/instance you want then click ok.
    Run the report. If the information displayed is the one you want, go to the top left area, click File, Schedule.
    Done.
    This is one way. You've mentioned using powershell with wmi but probably you are using PS remoting to the targets and of course not all hosts are enabled for remoting, or some might run Windows Server 2003 withouth powershell installed.
    An alternative would be to run a PS script against the SCOM server and send the reports via email. This works even if you don't have the SCOM Reporting role installed!
    You could do something like:
    Import-Module OperationsManager
    $WebSiteClass = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "Web Site"
    $IISAppPoolClass = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "IIS Application Pool"
    $WebSites = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $WebSiteClass
    $IISApps = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $IISAppPoolClass
    $WebSites | select IsAvailable, HealthState, Path, DisplayName
    $IISApps | select IsAvailable, HealthState, Path, DisplayName
    That will get you the basic info you need to setup an array and send them through email.
    I hope that helps.
