TimeRunner version 0.5
======================
Brief Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TimeRunner is a very small INIT extension which gives you the ability to
tell your Mac to automatically launch applications at predetermined times.
You will need at least System 7.1 to use TimeRunner. It should work with
all system versions up to Mac OS 9.x.
I literally threw this together in a couple of hours to get a job done
that I needed - it's not pretty, nor incredibly user-friendly, but it's
simple, and I thought somebody else might find it useful...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drag the TimeRunner extension onto the icon of your System Folder. You
will be asked if you want to place it into the Extensions folder, which is
where this extension should go! (Alternatively, you can of course drag it
into the Extensions folder yourself.) Once it is in place you should
restart your Mac to allow the extensions to load as the system starts up.
Once Finder has started you should see a warning message appearing which
tells you that there is no "TimeRun Items" folder in your System Folder.
If you open up your System Folder and create a new folder with the name
"TimeRun Items", then you can place applications to launch (or better,
aliases to applications) into this folder.
