If you're on MacOS neXt take the time to learn about crontab. Try "man crontab" or "apropos crontab" from a terminal window. It's worth the learning curve. Developer Tools, which are free from Apple, may be required.

On OS 9.1 and earlier I set up to use MacHTTP, known as "enable personal web sharing". I can set up my AppleScript as a CGI script and execute it at precise times by making HTTP:// requests from a discarded pentium running Linux or from my G4 running Mac OS neXt. Do "man curl" for some hints on that.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
