A software tool that allows users to schedule the running of scripts at specified times, aiding in automation and improving productivity.
Script Timer is a powerful and versatile software that allows you to schedule the execution of various types of scripts and applications. You can schedule AppleScript, perl, and shell scripts, as well as Automator workflows (OS X 10.4 and up only) or applications. This software enables you to perform these actions at specific times of the day, week, month, or year, at regular intervals ranging from one minute to any number of weeks, when the computer enters or leaves an idle state, and just before the computer goes to sleep or just after it wakes up.
One of the most notable features of Script Timer is Dynamic Scheduling. With this feature, you can arrange for an AppleScript script to schedule on the fly any other script, application, or workflow at a time of its choice. Script Timer consists of three separate modules- an editor that you use to create and manipulate scheduling data files, a background scheduling engine that reads the data files and does the actual scheduling work, and a small background tool that monitors.
Script Timer is designed to be user-friendly and secure. The scheduling engine runs in the user domain, which allows it to be easily controlled by a Start/Stop button in a data file window, 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.
If you're new to Script Timer or need some inspiration, the application comes with more than half a dozen sample scripts that illustrate its use. These sample scripts include examples of Finder and third-party application scripting, as well as the use of parameterized scripts. Additionally, included is Track Timer, a script that provides an interface between Script Timer and iTunes for automatic music play.
Overall, Script Timer is an excellent software for those who need to run various scripts and applications on a schedule. The Dynamic Scheduling feature and the user-friendly interface make it a reliable and useful tool for both beginners and professionals.
