Runat - A Simple Task Scheduler
What program is Runat trying to solve?
Ever want to run a program at some time in the future? How do you do it?
- Remember to do it
- Use Windows Scheduler
If you try to remember, you then need to set some sort of reminder and then run the program. There is also the concern of what happens if you forget about it.
If you have tried Windows Task Scheduler, you quickly discover it is not the simplest of Windows features. I had a need to schedule programs in the future and Windows Task Scheduler was unreliable in getting the tasks done. So I decided to write my own. This is the result.
Usage
There are two (2) things that Runat requires:
- A time in the future to run; within 24 hours.
- An actual program to run; although this could be a TEXT file, a picture, help file, music file, or anything actually.
That's
it. At the appointed time, the program will start. Now, if
the program requires some sort of response, then it will stay at that
point awaiting user input. But if the program requires no user input, then the program will do its thing..
Customization
Runat has the ability to pre-set four (4) programs of your choosing, making it easier to use,
Runat has the ability to pre-set two (2) times of your choosing, either by a specific time or a set number of minutes.
What about specialty versions?
You can use Alarm for sending quick reminder messages on screen.
You can use Scheduled-Off (S-Off) which contains several options for logging off and turning off your computer.
