Using scheduler



Scheduler window


Week day's scheduler

The scheduler provides you options to schedule up to two actions for every day from Monday to Sunday and up to two schedule records for everyday.

To setup any of it set an action and a time across the weekday the action should be executed on. Then select checkbox at the left of the time field to enable it.

Another two options is available to specify along with an action scheduled. First is 'Onetime action' (first checkbox at the right of the defined action) specifies that the action should be executed once and then it should be disabled. Next option is 'Hot-key' (second checkbox at the right of the action defined) get you chance to define hot-key associated with the action. Whenever you will press this hot-key the action will begin (even if the action is disabled with the scheduler). To disable the hot-key clear this checkbox (also see 'Action execution').

Schedule an action on low CPU usage

The action selected on the main RSHUT window can be scheduled on low CPU usage. To do this enable the option 'Do action if CPU usage less than' on the scheduler dialog and enter threshold value (in percents) which will be used to keep track for CPU usage. Also you need enter the number of minutes during which CPU usage should be less than specified value in order to the action be activated.

To specify that the action should be executed once select the option 'Onetime action'. So the option to execute action on low CPU usage will be disabled once it will be executed.

Schedule an action on process exit

The action selected on the main RSHUT window can be scheduled on a process exit. To do this enable the option 'Do action when process will exit' on the scheduler dialog and then select the process you wish be tracked for its exit from the list of all processes in RAM (RSHUT will provide you the full list of running processes).

Running processes list


Also you can manually enter the process name to an appropriate field (if it is not in RAM yet).

So if you have enabled the option here RSHUT will track processes list for the event the process specified will leave it (actually - exits), RSHUT will detect that the process being in RAM had gone away and will run the action specified.

To specify that the action should be executed once select the option 'Onetime action'. So the option to execute action on process exit will be disabled once it will be executed.

Define main hot-key for an action

A hot-key can be defined for quick start of the current action selected in the main RSHUT window. To do it - enter necessary hot-key you want to define on the scheduler window.

Advanced scheduler demo mode

Unregistered trial version of RSHUT provide you demo mode (that actually does not work) of advanced scheduler available in registered business or corporate version only (see Licensing).

Depend on your requirements you can decide whether you need the advanced scheduler or it is enough the standard scheduler for your network or home.
