Anybody know how to do timed events with AppleScript? As far as my knowledge of AppleScript goes (I think it's pretty good, anyway), the closest thing you can do is an on/end idle loop with a "delay 15" line or whatever, and then just check for a condition, like a certain time or date.

Is there actually a way to register an event that should happen at a certain time on a certain date with AppleScript?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can use an "on idle" handler, or if you want to schedule an Applescript app to run every so often, you can schedule it from the terminal with "crontab".
