# How can I run my document on a different schedule than Synk allows?

While Synk's built-in scheduling should meet the needs of nearly all users, some users may prefer to define their own schedule or simply use a different mechanism.

## Advanced users can build their own scheduling mechanism around batch scripts:

1. Create a batch script containing all of the Synk documents you wish to run at a time, and select the "Run all and quit" option.
2. Create an AppleScript, cron job, or other mechanism that opens the batch script at the desired times. Ensure that Synk is closed at these times.
3. When the batch script is opened, all of the documents in the batch script will be automatically run, then Synk will quit.
