You could save a script as an applet and add it to the login items
thru System Preferences. Getting Safari to go to load a page thru
applescripts is easy enough
tell application "Safari"
activate
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.apple.com/";
end tell
to check if when it was last active, I don't think this is possible
unless you can do something with javascripts. You should be able to
keep track of when your AppleScript was last run by setting the a
property of your script with the current time, properties are
maintained between execution of your script, though I am not sure
how to get the current date. You could you use do 'do shell script '
and the terminal command 'time' but trying to compare times like
this would be difficult, it would be easier if there is a pure
AppleScript way of getting the current date since you can compare
'date' data types.
Using an idle handler, maybe the script could check the Safari
history file's modification date to see if it has changed since the
last check. If the date has changed, Safari is in use.
