Not if you only check the time on idle and set the idle interval to a
minute or more. Of course this limits accuracy, but I doubt that kind of
accuracy is what is needed here. You may have to tweek this example to fit
your time format & flavor.
--begin script--Save as a stay open Applet.
on idle
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set now to text items of time string of the (current date)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set now to text items of item 1 of now & item 2 of now
-->{"9", "19", "04", "AM"}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set theMinutes to ((item 2 of now) as number)
if item 1 of now is "9" and (theMinutes is greater than 30) and item 4
of now is "AM" then
beep 9
--or run script or whatever...
end if
return 60
end idle
--end script
