Re: msched.exe has stopped working (memory leak?)

Thank you for the reply. I'm using just the standard iMacros language. Does this include VBscript (as I thought that only was used to make multiple macros work together.) It's just weird that the crashes happen upon Macro Scheduler closing. If you're sure that this isn't an issue with macroscheduler...

msched.exe has stopped working (memory leak?)

I have several computers using MacroScheduler without issue. All scripts include, at one time or another, to run an iMacros script to capture information from a website. All PCs are working without any MacroScheduler issues, except for one. At random intervals, at the end of the script, MacroSchedul...

Make Scripts wait their turn?

Is there a way to make scripts wait their turn? I am having a problem where multiple scripts want to run at the same time & cause havoc. Details: I have a script (and copies of the script) that is scheduled to run every minute from 0:00-5:56, 6:06-15:56, 16:06-23:56 In addition to those scripts, I h...

Screen Recording for Error Correction

Loving MacroScheduler... not loving some of the JRE applications that I am automating - (don't always respond as expected). While I would usually look to the log files to identify the errors, my logs are complete garbage; I have a timer that attempts to reset things when my script gets stuck. The lo...

Follow Up Question - How to Pause Timer

Just a quick follow up question: I have one step in that could take way longer. What's the best way to pause the timer? Only Idea that I have is to give the timer a crazy high second count. Let>TimePeriod=12000000000 after the step is completed, I will put it back Let>TimePeriod=120 Any other ideas?

Re: Possible to kill macro after set duration?

Perfect, Thank you! I can't begin to tell you how much time I spent looking at the log file and reviewing the code. I was positive that I messed up the original code by adding in my additional instructions (as by itself it worked fine, as it was basically two exits) That fix is so simple, yet someth...

Re: Possible to kill macro after set duration?

Thank you for you help! This is a great way to solve this problem! I have added in some additional instructions, that will take a screenshot of where the computer was when it timed out, and then email it out. I got this working, but for some reason, it does it twice. Any idea of what would cause thi...

Possible to kill macro after set duration? - SOLVED

I'm new to Macro Scheduler, but have found this to be an incredibly easy to use tool. I have written a pretty complicated macro that controls a JRE - Java Webstart App. This JRE App is less than perfect. As a result, I can get random hangs & random error windows. If I stop the macro & re-run it, it ...
