Assuming you're talking about cron, it's not recommended for use with
AppleScripts. Because of how AppleScript and cron work, there are some
serious restrictions on what you can do with a cron-fired script -- for
instance, you can't send commands to any running application.

Why do you keep on asserting this? I have a crontab that...
...ah.
Light comes on.
That'll be why my controller AppleScript wouldn't fire up the couple of
AppleScript apps I had written for importing data from external sources.
So I have cron starting a shell script which fires up the first
AppleScript app, waits until it's finished its doings and then starts
the next app.
Just goes to show, tell me something often enough and eventually it'll
sink in :-)
Thanks Chris
