Schedul program starts?

Is there an application I can use to schedual program starts? For example I use Weather Watcher, and Egress. Neither will launch on their own and start updateing at say 6am. Is there a program or a way I can set my axim to launch a set of programs. Say launch Egress at a certain time, then weather watcher, and then maybe do a soft reset all before I need to grab it and be out the door? As of now I have to leave egress on all night for it to update. Weather watcher onl updates at program start. Any ideas?

Thank you!
Josh

How could mortscript do a scheduled run? Have been playing with it for quite some time but still couldn't figure it out.

Look, I have only ever "played" with mortscript/runner but am pretty sure it can do auto starts. So maybe someone else can answer for sure but there is a discussion on how to automate using mortscript here:
this link might give insights....
....or it might not
I must confess I have never regretted paying for SK's product- it works well for me, and as per my initial suggestion I think would work well for the original posters needs .

As I have seen from your link, it is the phonealarm apps that wake the unit up at prescribed time then run the mortscript file just like any other program, instead of mortscript waking itself up. Am I correct?

I agree that skschema is very powerful but I only have a task or two that need scheduling. So a free solution would be very much preferred. :)

I"ve tried skschema and wasn't able to get it to work. It would work fine between the hours of 11:47pm or so and 12:36 am, or some random times like that. It wouldn't run the functions right... I give it 1 thumb down. Only one due to the fact that it COULD be powerful if it in fact worked correctly.

SKScheMa. Also see my Backup Bible, where I've also shown real-world examples of using it.
