Automated TWS startup

Is anyone using software for automated startup of TWS. Lets say I want it to start @ 3-00am. everyday. What works. Someone suggested macro express but can't get it to work.
 
if you're unix-flavored, just add a cron job.

Try it with the TWSStart program!
Here is the Macro Express script to start it automatically
Basically you use command windows launch TWSStart; command type text "ENTER" and stop macro.
Use activation by schedule to get the macro going.

That's it!


<LAUNCHDEL2:0:01C:\Program Files\TWSAPI\TWSStart.exe><TEXTTYPE:<ENTER>><MSTOP>

I've been using TWS Start successfully for the last few months. Starting yesterday I have not been able to get it to work. Anyone else having similar problems? It is possible that my problems started when I downloaded the lastest version of TWS. I am using Build 806.3.
 
You'll have to check with the person who wrote that code but in the latest release IB offers an SSL option which if you can check off (added encryption at the expense of a few milliseconds in speed). that might be the cause of their code failing.
