The scheduler is used to tweak eMule's settings regarding a set time and week day for the change. It could be used for raising up- and download during night time whereas the bandwidth remains free for other applications during working time.
The scheduler allows to create action profiles with one or more
actions to perform at a set time or weekday.
The first list box shows the created Profiles with Title, Days
to perform the actions and its Start Time. A chosen profile shows the
defined actions and time settings in the Details area.

Details view to make the appropriate settings.

at any time.
o Title

o Time
