Scheduling Scripts -- Run?

Post by westsider » Tue Aug 20, 2013 4:33 pm

I have written a script to run hourly and enabled it on the "Run When" tab. I saved and closed the script. I closed Macro Scheduler. Will this script run now?

Or -
Do I need to leave Macro Scheduler open?
Do I need to select run on the main Macro Scheduler window?

Thank You - Westsider

Great App Btw - Macro Scheduler has worked really well for me!

Macro Scheduler has to be running for the scheduled script to run. And no, you don't have to select run on the main window.

Ok thanks for the info. I also noticed after I edit or create a script, I have to quit Macro Scheduler and relaunch it for the script to run on it's recurring schedule.
