Isilo automation - comp guru's please read!

[T800]

I can automate Isilo through windows scheduler (and IsiloXC) and get it to connect to my channels and convert. However..... I would like be able to automate through scheduler in the following order...

1) Connect to internet via default (DSL) connection
2) Connect and convert to my Isilo channels
3) perform a HotSync to the Clie
4) Disco from internet connection.

I don't know how to acheive all these things in series, or how to call up 1) 3) & 4) in the scheduler.

I'm sure some of you techies know how to do it? Well? do ya?

Please don't tell me to use Avantgo or NetFront, that wouldn't be big or clever.

Cheers

I don't think you can invoke a hotsync like that

Hi,
I have done something similar to this..I have a channel list and use the linux command line version of isilox...every day a cron job gets all of my channels and converts them. ( I guess you could do this with the command line version of isilox for dos(?) and windows scheduler or something...).
There is a program for the palm called autosync that syncs your palm with the desktop automatically at specific times. All I do is to set autosync to sync around half an hour after the channels were updated...that way - I have updated news every morning on my pad without me having to lift a finger!

I do the same thing but w/out linux :) Isiloxc converts my sites, autosync syncs a bit later.

Sounds like what you would need is a batch file. But like hansschmuker said, I don't know of any way to start the hotsync from the PC.

Instead of hotsync, another way is to set iSiloXC to convert the web pages to the iSilo folder on the MS /palm/programs/isilo/. This would work best with a card reader or a pcmcia ms reader. This option is for those who don't like to leave their nx on the cradle.

I hadn't thought of that. That's a good idea.
