Try this to start, then turn into a service with FireDaemon, http://www.firedaemon.com/. You'll need to fill in the quit() function, and the particulars for your media player. from time import mktime, strftime, strptime, localtime, time, sleep # return true if the program should exit def quit(): pass import subprocess def launch(): args = ( 'c:\\pathto\\cmd', 'http://www.kuow.org/real.ram' ) subprocess.call(args) # get the seconds since epoch of midnight, add the desired time of day, # and convert back into seconds since epoch. We'll wake up just a bit # early, so we can use a coarser timer. event_time = mktime(strptime(strftime('%Y%m%d', localtime(time()))+'19:59:40','%Y%m%d%H:%M:%S')) while True: while time()<event_time and not quit(): sleep(5) if quit(): break launch() Cheers _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
