At 4:30 am every day, I want to open DevonThink and Apple Mail.
I can't figure out why only the first app in the list opens.
Note that the time in the macro is 9:59 because I was running tests.
What I tried:
To add a 2 minute pause
Invert the sequence, ie 1st Apple Mail → pause → DevonThink which causes to open Mail first
I tried using a CRON trigger 0 6 * * * (here for 6 am)
Note that:
I use CRON and Time of the Day triggers a lot during the night to display important messages which I must see in the morning, with no problems, even when my Mac is asleep.
thank you Chris for solving the problem with a script.
