I have created this launchctl
.plist
for opening an application at a specific time every day – or the next time the computer wakes from sleep.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>caffeine-timecontrol.job</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Applications/Caffeine.app/Contents/MacOS/Caffeine</string>
</array>
<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>

<key>Hour</key><integer>7</integer>
<key>WeekDay</key><integer>1234567</integer>

</plist>
The above is supposed to wake app Caffeine
at 7:40 AM
Every day
.
However, can I also include a clause to make the application terminate at 00:00 AM
Every day
if the computer is awake?
Meaning, is there an opposite to StartCalendarInterval
, or would I have to go about it some other way, .e.g. via crontab
?
