Trigger what? Do you mean that it should run doing nothing until a certain time of day or until a certain time interval has elapsed? In either case a quick look at the Java documentation for something to do with Date[^]s or times should help.

Don't believe Richard, for him time is something that is flying by :laugh: ;P GregorianCalendar [^]is so much better! Combine it with This one about running System Commands[^]. The rest is up to you - that is what development is about. Make a plan, write things down, sketch a GUI and afterwards start implementing what you've written down.

Well, you could use the Java Timer class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html[^] Or if your requirements are more complicated, try something like Quartz: http://quartz-scheduler.org/[^]

I can never remember this class, even though it's obvious.

If you need to measure an elapsed time, a simple
Threadwith asleeporwaitin it may be sufficient.

I never really watched Trumpton, but my children used to love it.
