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
could you elaborate on how that's an advantage?
b) most scripts must be saved as
applications to be run by cron.
just curious, do you say this because osascript doesn't
allow scripts with user interaction?
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.
now that's an advantage, otherwise you have to do
contortions to pass parameters (text only) via
osascript.
