The scheduler allows you to automate some of the administration tasks
you can perform within eMule. It could be used for raising up- and
download during night time whereas the bandwidth remains free for other
applications during working time.
The scheduler works by creating action profiles with one or more
actions to perform at a set time or weekday.
The first list box shows the created Profiles with Title,
Days to perform the actions and its Start Time. A
chosen profile shows the defined actions and time settings in the
Details area.
o Enabled
Activates the whole scheduler
o Remove
Deletes the highlighted action profile
o New
Creates a new action profile. New profiles are automatically displayed
in the Details view to make the appropriate settings.
Details
This area shows the current settings and actions for the chosen action
profile.
o Enabled
This checkbox activates the chosen profile. One or more profiles can be
activated at any time.
o Title
Title or description of the profile.
o Time
Actions can be performed daily or only on certain days of
the week. Each action also has to have a Starting Time
and Ending Time.
If no action is valid at a given time, eMule automatically uses the
default settings from the other Preferences dialogs.
Creating Actions in a Profile
First a new profile has to be created by the pressing the New
button. After entering a Title, Starting and
Ending Time for the profile new actions are created by the
right mouse button menu in the Action list.
