2 - Installation

If you're reading this, you must have already expanded the Scheduler zip archive. Move it wherever you want it, which will generally be /boot/apps. Next, unzip the zip file in the Scheduler folder containing the appropriate platform's executables.

In order for Scheduler to automatically delever events after a reboot without having to run Scheduler every time, it is necessary to modify your UserBootscript (/boot/home/config/boot/UserBootscript) to launch Scheduler into the background. This can be accomplished by opening a terminal, cd'ing to the Scheduler folder, then typing Install.sh to execute the installation script. Typically, this will be accomplished as follows:

$ cd /boot/home/apps/Scheduler
$ Install.sh

Notes:
1. You should not expand the PPC executables on an x86 BeOS machine, or vice versa, since having the "other" platform's executable confuses BeOS's mime signatures system: it will sometimes try to launch the wrong platform's executable and report failure even though the proper application may be present too.

2. When in the background, Scheduler will not appear in the Deskbar. To fully quit Scheduler, including removal of the invisible background partner, quit Scheduler using the "Full quit" menu item instead of the normal "Quit to background" menu item.
