Task Till Dawn
Task Till Dawn is a free task scheduler which can execute your repetitive tasks (i.e. open files or applications) at specified times or intervals. For example, use Task Till Dawn to automatically let iTunes download the newest Podcasts at a specified time. Or let it backup your important files every day. Needless to say, tasks can also be executed manually
The application is written in Java and therefore basically platform independent. Currently, versions for Windows and Mac OS X (Intel) are available. A Linux version will probably also be available in the future.
As this project is provided under the GPL, you can take the sourcecode and fit it to meet your own needs. Pre-compiled versions, as well as the sourcecode, are available in the Downloads section. The application is multilingual (English, German, Spanish and French).
Tasks can be executed with a delay. This might come in handy if a to be executed application has to access the Internet connection, which often is not available directly after a computer wakes up from sleep or powers up. Additionaly, it is possible to cancel a tasks upcoming execution during this delay. In case of an error, Task Till Dawn displays a message in the tasklist. Tasks can also be disabled to temporarily avoid execution.
Different notification services can be used to notify the user whenever a task will be executed shortly. It is possible to use Growl notifications, text to speech and others as well.

Hello,
I've seen that when push down the botton for selection app or file and before selecting an item I bring in front (focus) the 'new task' windows, than focus ramains in this state, prevent from bring top the 'app/file selection' windows.
I'm sorry for my poor english, but I'm trying to improve it.
I hope I've been helpfull.
Cheers, Matteo.

Your Task Till Dawn...doesn't work from my surprise, when the system shutdown completely so when at re-boot the task is not running anymore.

Hello Alex,
have you added Task Till Dawn to your system's startup items?
If not, the application will not start automatically and thus will not execute any tasks.
Best regards,
Oli
