Hi Tim,
My shareware app, Script Timer 1.2 will to exactly what you want. I tried to
include most of the functionality of iDo when I designed it.
Others have mentioned Cronnix, which is a GUI front end for the Unix utility
cron. Script Timer has several advantages over cron when it comes to
scheduling the running of AppleScript scripts, largely because a) cron is a
general purpose Unix utility, and b) most scripts must be saved as
applications to be run by cron. Also, you can pass parameters to your
scripts with Script Timer, and Script Timer can accept data back from the
script for logging in its own log file.
You can get Script Timer at the web site below. Just click on the Shareware
and Freeware button.
Regards,
Don
