On the new update this was added to the software
Autostarting the scheduler: Use the /start command line option to make the scheduler
automatically start after opening (good for putting the scheduler into
the startup group)
Could someone explain this a bit further on how to exactly do this? What exactly is the "/start command line option" Thanks ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

This is a throwback to the good 'ol (and sorely missed) DOS days. Just open a command line window (in Vista type CMD in the search box just over the Windows/Start icon) in XP you'll use the RUN option, again invoked via the START button; and type in the stacked command line argument.

Will Aurora scheduler open with vista task scheduler? I've tried a couple time, it says the task is running, but not opening it up. Am I missing something....I have the scheduler.exe file as the file to open. Do I need to have something in the "start in" option..... ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

The intent here is to place a shortcut to aurora_scheduler.exe in the startup group. To do so (XP instructions... Vista may be slightly different), navigate to Start/Programs/Startup and right click on "Startup". Choose "Explore" and the contents of the startup group will appear in an explorer window. Right click in the explorer and choose New/Shortcut. The command you want for the shortcut is:
"C:\Program Files\Aurora Sequencer\aurora_scheduler.exe" /start
Close the explorer window. From then on whenever you log in the computer the scheduler will automatically come up and will auto-start. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

| I noticed that the autostart only works if the scheduler is installed in the default directory. |

Just change the directory in the instructions above to whatever directory you have the scheduler installed into... it will work. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I haven't tried it with Vista yet. I did find a macro program that has a 90 day trial that seems to work pretty good. Easy to setup the macro, it logs your mouse clicks. You can schedule it to run whenever. I should work with XP great. I have to turn off UAC to get it to work with Vista. http://www.kratronic.com/tools/recorder/download/index.html - http://www.kratronic.com/tools/recorder/download/index.html ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

The quotes around this line are very important if you are making a shortcut based on this line. Additionally, spaces are just as important for those of you that are not familiar with DOS commands. If you installed Aurora just off of the root of D: your path would look like this- "D:\Aurora Sequencer\aurora_scheduler.exe" /start |
