but you can't start the app every day on that specific specified date.
that's what he means.

Welcome to Android Forums, 1eskip!

Just a heads-up: this thread was posted five years ago. :eek:

I'm pretty sure the OP long ago solved his problem.

that's not how i read the op. i think thom's post was spot on. tasker is great to set an app to run on any specified date and time.

I've said before, but have nothing to back me up!, that Tasker is simply a GUI front-end for Linux's built-in cron command. :eek:

Don't get me wrong! Anything that exposes more people to Linux--even when it is disguised as Android--is a good thing. I paid for Tasker...but have yet to find a use for it on my Android devices. On the other hand, cron--which can be extremely cryptic--I used to rely on every day, both at work and at home.

Can you think of anything I might put Tasker to work doing? :thinking:

I just haven't come up with anything!

i only have it because folks here seems to always want their apps to do specific things that i find taskers could do. i really do not use it at all.

May I blow you a kiss? Just on the cheek, of course.

Shoot, I'm going to keep that thread open in its own tab and take my time reading through it, and getting ideas. Thank you!
