process timer

Does anyone know if there is a program that would let you set a time to activate and deactivate certain processes? I realize this would have many potential uses other than neopets and searched google but couldn't find anything. this would be a sweet program to make if there isn't one. (not that I would know how )

Edited: I realized that a process timer isn't enough, you need to be able to log in and start program, too. So if anyone could make a program where you could set what time you wanted it to start or end that would be cool. An example would be the way i use my ss, i run it at night while i sleep but i would like it to shut down after a certain amount of time so TNT doesn't become suspicious of someone playing games for 8-9 hours straight.

 

I think there's a built-in scheduler in Windows.
If you use *nix, you could just put the processes in your crontab

 

do you know how to get to the scheduler? ive never come across it.

 

Nope, I don't use Window$
Linux ftw, by far

Just do a google search and you should come up with something.

 

i have made something like that for the igloo autobuyer, it logs in for you and such and could be made to stop after a certain time, if that's what you wanted

 

ya that would be really helpful I'd appreciate it. and thanks for sticking up for me in the unfreezer topic

 

Just learn a little bit of basic SCAR and you should be able to do this yourself relatively easily

 

I wish i could but my parents already think i spend too much time on the computer, soo learning programming is probably out of the picture until i go off to school next year.

 

You don't need to learn anything advanced. It would take you 10-30 min to learn what you need to make something basic like this.

 

yeah, i could write it, but i don't know your computer...

 

you don't need to know their computer if you use bitmaps or dtms
