BigEfromDaBX 25 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Is there a way to schedule without using the built in scheduler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 You can make your own simple one, which just checks the time and continues running the script if your time has been passed. You could also use Pash's plugin Advanced Systems to create a Windows task which will auto start your bot to run at a time or on a schedule. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know if Pash's plugin will be able to achieve that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know if Pash's plugin will be able to achieve that? Sure as long as the computer is running (you can put it on a server or something). Pash's plugin will use the Windows Task Scheduler, so you will have to have the bot auto run you can do that by using the /auto argument when setting up the task. Also, you can just setup the task manually if you only need it for one task, you don't need the plugin. The plugin will allow you to be able to interact with Windows Task Scheduler, so if you wanted to create a schedule in the bot itself then you would use the plugin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 But each client email will fire off at different times. What you probably want to do is have the bot auto run once every day and have it check a database or CSV file and then just email the customers for that day. You could just have a task to run the program once per day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
