GMPS Scheduler

[Goersch]

Hello,

 

I have developed a Scheduler which uses the Timer function of an iMON to start the system. The advantage of using this function is, that you do not have to face with any problems caused by the suspend modes, because the system gets a fresh and clean startup.

Of course, the program can also being used to startup the system without using the iMON function

 

GMPS is a OpenSource software. It can be found here : GMPS @ SourceForge

There you will also find the latest Version. DVBViewer is supported with Version 0.3.0.x, which is just available in the GMPS Forum.

 

Die GMPS-Homepage you will find here: GMPS Homepage

An English Forum can be found here: GMPS Forum

(There you find the Version 0.3.0.4 which supports DVBViewer)
