Hmmm. Ok, but it seems having the LC app running invisibly all the time, listening for a command, something the cron service could do through the terminal easily enough, you could make it much more efficient. Just methods and madness I suppose. Bob S > On Jul 12, 2022, at 13:15 , Ben Rubinst

I think I may not have been very clear. This isn't LiveCode doing anything special; just a standalone LiveCode app that either does something immediately on launch (and then quits), or inspects the command line parameters to decide what to do (and then quits). I usually create a .bat file (on

It seems to me that if you have an open socket to listen for commands, you could have the chron or windows scheduler send those commands to your LC app. Ben, some syntax would be helpful. Bob S > On Jul 12, 2022, at 07:48 , Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Tim, > > On 11/0

That is a complete misunderstanding of the elevator theory of evolution: this was a theory propagated by some of the people who misread Darwin (I don't mean Hobbesian individualists like Huxley and Dawkins) to say that evolution is a linear and ever-upwards process. On 11.07.22 18:31, Bob Sneid
