Doing a Timer Loop

[winstein]

The situation now is this: apparently a customer's Task Scheduler is not working as intended (namely, tasks cannot run on the scheduled time), so a temporary solution is to run a certain program after every 5 hours using Macro.

What I am thinking of doing is to set a Macro application on a loop to run the program after every 5 hours. What is the best way to achieve this? If I do this, is the process going to be intensive for the CPU?

Based on what I see, the Timer function does not reset the timer, so a variable will keep increasing as the program continues.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

This will do:

Code: Select all

Label>start
Run>the-program.exe
//wait 5 hours
Wait>18000
Goto>start

OK, thank you for the advice.
