Scheduler Questions

Ok, couple quick questions on the scheduler. If you shut off your computer and restart it the next day, will the scheduler start up on its own when its show time?  or do you have to open it up?

If you have 2 shows back to back. What happens if the first show runs over into the second show?    I think I read it plays the song till the end if it falls on over the end time.

One wishlist Item for the scheduler....be able to minimize it...if this isn't already on the list.

But knock on wood, I just tested it with a few sequences and no bugs, although I dont have any controller hooked up to the computer though.

You could put a Scheduler shortcut in the Startup folder or create a Scheduled Task in Control Panel to start the scheduler one hour before showtime.

Download this program... you can script it to click your scheduler icon, then click start.... it's free.  http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

It works so well for this sort of thing... the City of Plano Texas School District uses it to image all 30,000 of it's pcs.  It runs driver setups and stuff durring the imaging... (I'm a network engineer)

He beat me to the point! yes basically create a script to run at start up to open scheduler and hit the start button! bam you are done!
