Don't know about program SDARK or how it interfaces with ARexx, but the basic
ARexx structure for doing things by day-of-week might run like this… note
that I am asking the program simply to SAY the current day of the week, but you
could substite code to launch your program, such as ADDRESS COMMAND "RUN >NIL:
<NIL: SDARK FIREWORKS", if that's the appropriate format for doing the task.
See the code I've substituted for Thursday, below.
/* TRIGGER ACTION BASED ON DAY OF WEEK */
day = DATE('i')//7
SELECT
WHEN day=0 THEN SAY 'Sunday'
WHEN day=1 THEN SAY 'Monday'
WHEN day=2 THEN SAY 'Tuesday'
WHEN day=3 THEN SAY 'Wednesday'
WHEN day=4 THEN ADDRESS COMMAND "RUN >NIL: <NIL: ED RAM:X"
WHEN day=5 THEN SAY 'Friday'
OTHERWISE SAY 'Saturday'
END
It goes without saying that you don't need to do things on a 7-day cycle;
just change the 7 to whatever value suits and adjust the coding in the SELECT
area.
