Run When Conflicts

I have a general question about how MacroScheduler handles scheduled jobs. If I have two jobs scheduled for the same time, will they both get run? Will this happen simultaneously or will one run and then the other?

Thanks,
Josh

I can't really answer your question 'cause I've never tried it. However, have you read THIS? As a generality, it is not a good idea to run two scripts simultaneously. In the situation where I want two or more scripts to run sequentially, with a minimum delay between them, I create and schedule one script that consists of one Macro> command after another. The Macro> command runs the scripts I want. The second script won't start until the first script finishes. I usually include a short wait between them because it makes me feel good.

Code: Select all

Macro>First script.scp
Wait>1
Macro>Second script.scp
Wait>1
Macro>Third script.scp
