PRESS RELEASE Enhanced version of Script Timer released by Apps & More Software Design Script and application scheduler has a new look and increased functionality while retaining its stable, low impact scheduling engine. Apps & More Software Design, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 2.0 of Script Timer, an AppleScript and application scheduling product for Mac OS X, Version 10.1 and Jaguar. Script Timer will run your scripts or applications at any time of the day on a daily, weekly, weekdays only, monthly, or one time basis as well as at regular time intervals ranging from minutes to weeks with specifiable start and stop times. You can also use the program to invoke actions when the computer becomes idle. Script Timer has two modules, a scheduling engine with an extremely small memory footprint that is designed to run unobtrusively in the background, and a graphical user interface (GUI) application with drag and drop functionality for creating and manipulating scheduling data files. The scheduling engine runs in the user domain, which allows it to be easily controlled by a Start/Stop button in the GUI program, 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. The application comes with several sample scripts that illustrate its use, including examples of Finder and third party application scripting, and the use of parameterized scripts. New features for version 2.0 include the following: - a two process model, with a drag and drop GUI program for creating and manipulating data files, and a background scheduling engine - the ability to schedule actions to run when the computer becomes idle - the facility to specify a "late start" time as well as a regular start time for time of the day actions - the capability to specify a stop time as well as a start time for time interval actions (and the new idle time actions) - full integration of the user manual into the program System Requirements Mac OS X 10.1 and higher Pricing and Availability Script Timer 2.0 is trialware, with unregistered copies being fully functional for 30 days after first use.
