I am looking for 2 simple AppleScripts. One to start Hazel and another script to stop Hazel. I am using Keyboard maestro and want to create a macro and I need an AppleScript to handle Hazel. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you describe how you would use this?

Yes. I keep all my files in dropbox so with Hazel running all the time, my dropbox is always trying to sync. What I would like to do is be able to use keyboard Maestro to trigger an apple script which starts Hazel at a certain time and another script which turns Hazel off at a certain time. Keyboard Maestro does the rest.

So, an apple script that starts Hazel and another apple script which stops it. Thats it. I don't know much about Apple script, hence the question. Hoping someone could please offer a suggestion.

Many Thanks!

How about using the "Current time" attribute in Hazel to only match during certain parts of the day?

How would that work as for running all the rules? Would I have to add that to every rule?

You could add a rule at the top of the list like "Current time is after/before" and specify the range when the rules should NOT match. You can then use the "Ignore" action.

Always so helpful Paul. Great product and great service! Thanks!
