How can I make a day NOT to run folder?

[EG252@AOL.COM]

I have a folder with 5 programs that run every day. I want to set a condition on the folder that on 7/23/09 the entire folder should NOT run. Is there a way to do that?

I suspect that you can just set a schedule on the folder that matches all time that is prior to or after 7/23 using From, unchecking Daily, and using Or to build something like this:

 

If
   From   12:00:00AM on 2009/07/21
   To     11:59:59PM on 2009/07/22
Or
   From   12:00:00AM on 2009/07/24
   To     12:00:00AM on 2025/01/01

 

as long as the first date is in the past and the last date is far enough in the future that it doesn't matter.

How about this.

 

Program "No Run Dates"
If
       From    12:00:00AM on 2009/07/22
       To      11:59:00PM on 2009/07/22
    Or From    12:00:00AM on 2009/07/29
       To      11:59:00PM on 2009/07/29
    Or From    12:00:00AM on 2009/08/05
       To      11:59:00PM on 2009/08/05
    Or From    12:00:00AM on 2009/09/16
       To      11:59:00PM on 2009/09/16
    Or From    12:00:00AM on 2009/12/25
       To      11:59:00PM on 2009/12/25
    Or From    12:00:00AM on 2010/02/25
       To      11:59:00PM on 2010/02/25

Then
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Then the folder with the programs you dont want to run on those specific dates.

 

 Folder "Special Dates"

Folder Conditions for 'Special Dates'
Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run.

If
       Program 'No Run Dates' is False

Then
  Allow the programs in this folder to run.

This will be easier when we get variables. You should be able to tell it to run unless a variable is true. You can then use programs to turn the variable on and off to disable the programs you don't want to run.

 

One way to do it now is to set up a folder or program with just an IF statement. the programs you set up can be set to run only if the other program is false.

 

For instance:

 

Program 1 (These are the days you don't want the program to run)

 

If Time is From xx:xx:xx on xx/xx/xxxx

To xx:xx:xx on xx/xx/xxxx

 

Then

Blank

 

Else

Blank

 

On the second program (the one that you actually want to run)

 

If Time is xx:xx:xx every day

and Program 1 is False

 

Then

xxxx

 

 

You can then just modify the first program or folder to become true on the days you don't want the program to run.
