Schedules for FileMaker

One often requested wish for our FileMaker plugin is a way to schedule script calls. So for the upcoming plugin version we got functions to scheduling. You can schedule:

Start a script
Executing some SQL.
Evaluating an expression.

for the schedule you can do that when

a wait time is over
a certain point in time is reached
a certain time of day is reached
the user is idle for some time

The whole system is very flexible. Each schedule you create provides an identifier which you can use late to query/modify the schedule and of course to cancel them.

The schedules to do SQL or evaluate can optionally also perform a script with the result being the script parameter. The reason is that some operations in SQL can't be done while a script is running and the database is open. But you can check the result in the script called after SQL performed.
