Hi, I need to run a Project Script every 5 minutes. How can I do this? I enclose a picture of my script. Thanks, Andrea ---

You can call that from a client event timer script, set to run every 5 minutes. ---

Two additional notes: 1. You need to put the code in a function in that script, and call the function from a timer event. The script itself runs on client startup, so it must define functions and variables to be available later. 2. Client event scripts run in every client, but not in the gateway. Gateway event scripts are what you want if you need the script to run even if no client is running, or if multiple clients running it would be a problem.
