Schedule a dayly script execution and soft reset

[oruam57]

Schedule Reset is a small utility that offers these capabilities.

- Soft reset of your device every day at a specified time.
- Optional warning sound and countdown before actual reset (just in case you are using the device).
- Optional execution of a script before the reset to delete garbage files, backup, etc.
- Automatical aborting of the script if its execution time exceeds a specified timeout.
- Default script engine is nScript (freely available at http://www.s-k-tools.com/util.html).
- Other script engine can be used by changing some registry keys.

been using it for the last 2 days...

not much to say about it except that it works and works well...

haven't tried the scripts thing 'cause I can't program, but nice option!

Has anyone else been using this on a Wizard? Any bugs?

Works great on the Universal

@oruam57: thanks for the ns info. May i know how you were able to create the exe files?

Why need a Pin in the First place?
Normally we require a PIN for security; If the software is bypassing that , why not DISABLE PIN REQUEST alltogether?

Prompt me if I am wrong pls..
We are all learning :idea:

You mean what development environment I used to develop ScheduleReset.exe? I used Borlard Delphi 2006.

[oldsap]

thanks. is there an easier way to make an exe file? :)

when you have 2 or more numbers on the same card, and their only activated by the PIN you enter... like... CARD 1 - PIN 0001 CARD2 - PIN 0002 ... google for sim emu :D

Nice app thanks - set mine to reset at 0400 every day.
Give me a chance to learn script writing
Anyone have some ready made scripts to try?
Would like a script to clear certain directories - temp/volatile etc...

ScheduleReset.ns.sample1 is a ready made sample that deletes the contents of the \temp directory (including subdirectories). Just rename it to ScheduleReset.ns and copy under the directory where ScheduleReset.exe is.
To add more directories just add calls to ClearDirectory with the full path, that is

function main()
{
ClearDirectory("\\temp",0);
ClearDirectory("<your directory here>",0);
}

Notice that you should use a double slash ("\\"), its a quirk of the ns string syntax.

WARNING: be very careful with ClearDirectory as it can delete very much in very short time. A full backup before starting is highly advisable.

Works good on my wizard no bugs so far :wink:

Think the warning sound should sound for the full 20 secs countdown. As it is you get 1 beep and thats it. Maybe a selectable countdown sound.

Well, the idea is to have the reset time set deep in the night. Therefore, too much noise would be annoying. The sound and the countdown are there only in the unlikely case the phone is in use, so you can stop the reset sequence.

Anyway the registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ScheduleReset\SoundFile Path
contains the path of the sound file. Replacing it with someting more noisy and longer (for example \Windows\Jig.wma) should suit you.

Cheers for the info.

Just installed this and love it! No needing to do this myself every few days now! Thx!

I have programmed the softreset to 04:00. Then I've changed the system date a year ahead of the current date, and returned again to the correct date.

Now every time that I start Reset Schedule, there are activated a countdown of 20 seconds, and I suspect that I have over 300 softresets pending in the queue!
