schedule / automate tasks with Start program / application action

Febooti Automation Workshop includes Start program / application Action that automatically executes specified program / application with optional command line parameters. Start program / application Action works the similar way as if the user had entered the necessary string in Run window in Start Menu or executed application by clicking on its icon on Desktop or in Start Menu. The only difference is that Start program / application Action has separated input for program's path and file name on the one hand, and parameters or arguments on the other.

Start program / application Action cannot execute Windows command prompt commands. See Run DOS / Cmd command Action for using cmd.exe command line interpreter.
