"Current Time" not working Tue Mar 17, 2015 3:28 am • by stridemat
Hi,

I have the following rule set up, which is schedule to run at 12:00 on a weekday. However, the rule never actually runs.

If I remove the "current time" part of the rule then it works, but is obviously active the entire time. This is not ideal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check the troubleshooting guide stickied at the top of this forum. If you still can't figure it out form that, post the diagnostics as described there.

Well I set the time 20:15 (to track the logs while I was in front of my computer) and it worked as it should, i.e matched the time and file number and ran the Apple Script.

I'm guessing my problem relates to my iMac sleeping during the day and I can't see a way around that.

Thanks for your time to date.

If your machine is sleeping at the time the rule is supposed to fire, it won't work (Hazel won't try and "catch up" when the machine wakes up). If you want to provide a time range instead you can try something like "is after X" which would be the time after X until midnight. If your machine wakes up in that time range, it will fire the rule.
