You don't need a "cron job". Just run a simple script from an Entourage
schedule, run every morning at a particular time or 'at startup'. Note that
specific instances of recurring tasks get saved as individual separate tasks
with the same name once they're completed, so it may not be safe to refer to
the task by its name (although it should get the first one of that name,
which should be the original recurring one). You could find out its ID
number and refer to it that way instead.
set wkDay do weekday of (current date)
tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
if wkDay is Monday then
open task "Monday" -- or whatever you've called it, or by id
else if wkDay is Tuesaday then
open ask "Tuesday
--etc
end if
end tell
Do your really need a script? The task itself can be set to have a reminder
at due date, and the reminder always has a button that says "Open Task".
Then it will appear whether or not Entourage is open. The script run from a
schedule will only run if Entourage is open.
