This was discussed on the list about 18 or 19 months ago. If your
script refers to any program with a GUI, including the Finder, you
will get error messages if you try to schedule a script with cron.
You can turn your script into an application with all the attendant
overhead, or you can try a scheduling application I publish called
Script Timer. Just go to the URL in my sig and click on the Shareware
and Freeware button to get a copy. Script Timer's scheduling engine
runs in the user domain where cron is owned by root. There's also a
FAQ page on the web site comparing Script Timer and cron.

Can't seem to find a way to get cron to run a compiled script every 8
hours. I just get error messages.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
