Tore,
Interesting! 'send in time' is a new one for me.
Thanks!

For this I would use a recursive approach with «send in time» something like
this:
on openStack
checkTime
end openStack
on checkTime
## Do your routines of checking time, performing the required action etc.
send checkTime to me in 300 seconds. ## you set the interval to whatever is
best for you
end checkTime
Best regards

Dear all,
I want to have an LC app running on a computer doing nothing but watching the
time. At predetermined times, I then want it to run a command. A call to an API
on a website.
In the old HC days, I remember using "on idle" to watch for a set time. But even then,
using "on idle" was less than ideal. CPU hog. What is the preferred/LC way to have an app
trigger a command at a specific time of day?
Any pointers appreciated!
