From the man page for osascript:
"osascript executes the given script file, or standard input if none is
given. Scripts may be plain text or compiled scripts."

Something looks odd there. The .applescript extension is used by
AppleScript

extension.
Does osascript expect text files such as .applescript or .txt files,
whose
content it would compile itself, or does it want .scpt files already
compiled and saved by a script editor?

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.
