jmacavali Fully Optimized Messages 4,867 Nov 6, 2009 #1 I am looking for a way (like a script or small program) that will simulate a button push on a regular interval. For example, it will "push" F7 every 15 minutes. Is this possible?

I need it for 16 minutes = 960000 Milliseconds. Like this? Loop { F7 Sleep 960000 } But how do i end it if I want to turn it off?

You could use break put an if statement in then give the command break if true. EDIT: by the way it's send {F7}

OP OP jmacavali Fully Optimized Messages 4,867 Nov 6, 2009 #10 Ok. So Loop { Send {F7} Sleep 960000 } Then I can close it fromt the system tray. And I put that info into a txt file and save it with a .ahk extension right. [SOLVED] WORKS GREAT!! Thanks everyone
