Sleep until a specific date then run the program

[ReaImDown]

I remember about 5 months or so ago someone was asking if there was a way to sleep until a specific time (Date) then run the script...I wrote this up for him, but forgot to post it hope this helps someone, cause its useless to me

you can push it further by adding year in there too, but thats kind of useless ...also, it may be benaficial to you if you made it => rather than =

#include<Misc.au3>

Global $Month = 12
Global $Day = 28
Global $Hour = 21
Global $Minute = 49

_Sleep($Month, $Day, $Hour, $Minute)

Func _Sleep($Month = @MON, $Day = @MDAY, $Hour = @HOUR, $Minute = @MIN)
    Do
        If _IsPressed('10') And _IsPressed('be') Then; Shift + >>
            MsgBox(0, "", "Working!")
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Until $Month = @MON And $Day = @MDAY And $Hour = @HOUR And $Minute = @MIN
    MsgBox(0, "", "Works")
EndFunc ;==>_Sleep

This is cool But would it work if they restart the computer??

it would if you made the script run on startup, also, you can customize it more by having it read registry entries that contain the date you want it to run and what time, so that way the user can define a time themselves or else it would only work for 1 date...if anyone is clueless as to how to do that, I will write it up quick for them
