Robot

Robot is a little butler application that runs various actions at once, when manually prompted, though. More precisely, the app lets you set up a task list with processes like executing command line strings, copy and move actions, downloads, zipping and unzipping, SSH, FTP download, and more. Could prove handy to users that must execute the same routine daily, as it can also save task lists for instant redeployment.

In order to execute commands, Robot must have a blueprint to work with. In this case, the operations you are setting up with the help of various templates made up the said blueprint. Launch the app and look for the ADD button. Click it to access the configuration pane.

The first thing you should choose is the action type. Drop the combo menu to select what kind of operation you want to deploy, be they zip, CMD, download, etc. Each action needs a description. This is the name they'll be displayed as in the main listing. The final step is adding the parameters into the Action box. These parameters can be a file destination, a URL, a time value, or whatever the Type choice dictates.

Save the task, mark it as active, and add it to the queue. Each task can be reconfigured, so if you have any doubts before starting the Robot, you can modify the configs in no time. Click start once everything is in order, and the program will start executing the actions starting with the top line.

Users with specific and repetitive routines will find this app very useful. Save any config, or listing to a file, which will later spare you the effort of rebuilding the list. Basically, you can deploy dozens of operations with one click, day after day.

Robot is a nifty tool able to execute specific system actions automatically. It could prove a really time-saving solution for individuals with repetitive assignments.
