You can run a compiled applescript via cron (and in the terminal or a shell script) by using the command-line command osascript, such as this:

/usr/bin/osascript /path/to/the/script.applescript

For cron entries use the full path to the osascript command as shown, as well as the full path to your script. Your applescript being in the file "script.applescript" or whatever name you chose.

IMHO Cronnix only makes CRON somewhat easier to use, not easy in a Mac sense. Still, cron is a service that's built-in and thus "free".

Is it possible to run a compiled script via Cron or just an application as
you mentioned in your post.
