Scrutiny 12 Scheduling and Finish Actions
When do you want Scrutiny to start and what do you want it to do when it finishes?
Below are settings which are found on the 'Finish Actions' and 'Schedule' tabs.
On finish, take actions
When the scan finishes, Scrutiny can take these actions. In v12 they're just performed at the end of every scan. There's no longer a 'scan with actions' option.
- Alert - a simple alert at the end of the scan
- Open file / applescript: - tells the system to open the specified file
- Send email to: - tells Apple Mail to send a notification with some basic stats
- Save Sitemap - The full report also saves the same sitemap, but this option allows you to specify a filename and location, which some find useful for automating the upload to server. (Switching on the checkbox triggers the save dialog which allows you to choose a location and specify a filename.)
- Alert when links to http site are found and offer to list them - if you have migrated to https and links to your http pages are found, or if pages contain 'mixed content' or insecure resources, then the information will be offered at the end of the scan. This information is also included if you're saving a full report with 'individual SEO tests of concern' enabled.
Scheduling a scan
Scrutiny can run on schedule. The app does not need to be running, it'll start up at the scheduled time, run the scan and then take any of the finish actions you've selected.
NB If you make a change to these settings, including switching schedule to 'none' it is important to press 'Commit' to reload/unload the launch agent. It's also necessary to press Commit if you've upgraded Scrutiny to v12 from an earlier major version.
For an overview of your schedules (to avoid going into each website config individually, or to delete any 'leftover' launch agents) go to Tools > Schedules Overview.
