QUESTION :
I currently use SWFTools via command line on my computer. I have two commands that I want to run every Friday at 3:00 AM automatically. However, I want to run the two scripts in a specific order. This is what I have:
At 3:00 AM on Friday I want to run this first:
.swfcombine -o "C:users****My Documents************.swf" --dummy -y 50 "C:users****My Documents********.swf"
Then this:
.swfrender "C:users****My Documents************.swf" -o "C:users****My Documents********.png"
How can I make this happen automatically? Any help would be highly appreciated!
ANSWER :
Use Task Scheduler on a Windows system.
Create Basic Task Wizard:
Trigger: Weekly
Recur every: 1 weeks on:
X Friday
Start a program
Put your two lines into a bat file, then put that file into your “Start a Program”.
Your bat file might look something like this:
@ECHO OFF
REM This program first combines then renders swf files as png
"C:Pathtoswfcombine" -o "%USERPROFILE%Pathto****.swf" --dummy -y 50 "%USERPROFILE%Pathto****.swf"
.swfrender "%USERPROFILE%Pathto****.swf" -o "%USERPROFILE%Pathto****.png"
In Windows 8, the task scheduler looks like this:
