I was trying to do two things here:
1. Open specific tasks every morning based on the day of the week.
2. Learn a little AppleScript.
I've found out how to do both...thanks for the help here!

You don't need a "cron job". Just run a simple script from an Entourage

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
