Scheduler for Mac7.7.2

Good

Excellent utility! Thanks to the developer!

Nice Uninstaller, leaves the app and plist file. :)

Ver 5.1.4 for OS's 10.4->10.6 is also available at the dev's website.

Sure, there are a lot of ways to schedule events on your Mac. You could launch scripts with cron, et cetera, but then work in features like deferred execution, convenient task management, and you will have written this application. Looking forward to the continued development of version 6. Aready an improvement for Mountain Lion. Plus, it's free. Definitely give it a try.

I have problems with installation of Scheduler this application Schedule is compatible with my OS X 10.6.8 ? Thanks Antonio

RANDYHARRIS: I think you have missed out on the joys of cron. cron is a scheduling utility that has been built into Mac OS X from the very first version. The only thing keeping a lot of people from using cron, is the fact that it's a command line application. However, over the years there have been graphical front ends to cron for Mac OS X that provide easier access. Just search for cron on MacUpdate, and you'll find loads of them. I'm not criticising Scheduler, it could quite possibly be capable of things that cron isn't. However, I do think that your statement that the Mac has no scheduling capabilities beyond iCal is misinformed to the point of being erroneous and misleading.

For years Windows has had a feature called "Scheduled Tasks" this offered the ability to schedule events easily in the Windows environment. While you can use iCal for some scheduling tasks, this is not an ideal approach. Scheduler is a great utility which brings the ease and function of Windows Scheduled Tasks to Mac OS X. The program is very simple and easy to use, I've only used it for a day now, but in setting it up and testing it out - it works flawlessly for me. I am so very excited to have stumbled upon this little gem. While it is freeware, I'll be donating a few bucks to support the cause. If I can nitpick, I'd prefer the Scheduler have a look which is more inline with other Mac programs, but it's not a bad interface, and it works well.
