RUNON version 1.3
------------------
RUNON is a nifty utility for running events only on certain days. The format
for one specific day is:
RUNON [day] [program]
DAY
---
RUNON will look for the first three letters of the day you enter, or the
number (1=SUN, 2=MON, ...,7=SAT). If the day you entered is equivilant to
the day RUNON is being executed, it will execute the program you have
specified.
PROGRAM
-------
You can enter the name of a batch file, executable file, or whatever you
wish. I would prefer using batch files myself, but RUNON should let you run
EXE and COM files as well.
RUNON will let you enter parameters as well. For example, for VBBS users who
want to net only on Wednesdays, you can type:
RUNON WED VNET /NET NETWORKID=1
or, you can type:
RUNON 4 VNET /NET NETWORKID=1
Either will work fine.
Now, you can specify a range of days you want to execute the event. To do
this, you must use a series of Y's and N's in order from Sunday through
Saturday. The Y's tell RUNON that you DO want to execute the event on this
day. The N's tell RUNON that you DON'T want to execute the event. For
example, if you want to run the event on Tuesday AND Thursday, you would
say:
RUNON NNYNYNN event
^^^^^^^
|||||||
||||||Saturday - The "N" says to NOT run the event on Saturday.
|||||Friday - The "N" says NOT to run this event on Friday
||||Thursday - The "Y" says to run this event on Thursday
|||Wednesday - The "N" says to run this event on Wednesday
||Tuesday - The "Y" says to RUN this event on Tuesday
|Monday - The "N" says to NOT run this event on Monday
Sunday - The "N" says to NOT run this event on Sunday
I know this is a little trickey, but once you get the hang of it, it's really
simple. Just think of it as a calander. On a normal calander you have the
days of the week listed from Sunday to Saturday. Just put a "N" in that slot
if you DON'T want to run the event and a "Y" in that slot if you DO want to
run the event. Here are some more examples:
SMTWTFS
RUNON YNNNNNY -Run the event on Sunday and Saturday
RUNON NYYYYYN -Run the event on Monday THROUGH Friday
RUNON YYYYYYY -Run the event DAILY
RUNON NNNNNNN -DON'T EVER RUN THE EVENT
RUNON YNYNYNY -Run on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Got it? Just remember, to use this format, you MUST put it in this format.
That's all you have to do!
