Looking for simple and found it

denrober · 10 years ago · v1.0.6

Tried getting cron to work for a bit and decided it wasn’t worth it. I then looked up how to do a scheduled launchd job and rolled my eyes when I saw the xml. I just wanted to have a script run. Found this little app and am very pleased. Very simple and works. It also has a decent icon which I know is shallow but a lot of these small utilities don’t so I appreciate it.

Excellent Job Scheduler!!

Installation and implementation of jobs was very simple. I had a question when I first started using the app and received a quick response from the developer. I have not had a single problem with the app. I highly recommend this app.

Fait le job

Pas la plus chère, et fait bien son travail. Je m’en sers pour activer ou désactiver OneDrive toutes les cinq minutes selon que le MacBook est sur secteur ou batterie.

Does not work

psaulnier · 13 years ago · v1.0

I set up my script to run as shown in one of the screenshots, but the scheduled time came and went, and nothing happened. No errors or anything.

works fine - better docs would be appreciated

randomnickname223456 · 12 years ago · v1.0.3

if you are a novice, you might find some of the interface misleading. Like where it says "program/script", for example! Dont just be putting in your script there… its not gonna work. If you want to run an applescript, you better put put this: osascript /yourpath/yourscriptname.scpt and be sure to check the box "arguments" - the script path and name is an argument passed to the osascript PROGRAM. (if yer a Mac noob like me, you might not know that osascript is the program that executes the applescripts…) Anyway, after digging into system error logs, and after much Googling, I was able to figure this out, and get it running. And if you are as MacNoobnificent as myself, be warned that wherever your script lives, you need to make sure it has executable permissions. I did this via the console, cding to the folder where i put the script, and fixing up with chmod 777 MyScriptname.scpt ( and also chmod -x MyScriptName.scpt - just to be on the safe side). Once I got all that sorted, the LaunchD Task Scheduler worked just as advertised...

It does not work

giancarlo.s · 11 years ago · v1.0.5

It is not clear to me wether it is the application or OS X itself, but none of the services I configured runned as expected. Don’t rely on it.

it works good, but give me an error on deleting jobs

g.altieri · 10 years ago · v1.0.6

I find useful this app and it works good, but there is a problem on deleting jobs and even if I delete it, the job still working...
