Robert,
If you want a non Unixy way to do your scheduling, please take a look
at Script Timer, a scheduling program that I publish. It has an
editor with a drag and drop graphical user interface for setting up
your schedules, and a faceless background scheduling engine for
running them. Unlike cron, the scheduling engine is a user owned
process, which avoids some permissions related problems when you are
trying to schedule a script that interacts with a regular Mac program
with a graphical user interface. The scheduling engine is also
designed to schedule AppleScript scripts (though it does shell and
perl scripts too as well as applications). With it you can easily
pass parameters to your script, and receive results from the script
for storing in Script Timer log file. Also, you can schedule events
to run when your computer enters or leaves and idle state, and you
can schedule events on the fly by having a script pass a "dynamic
action record" back to the scheduling engine to use to create a new
event to merge into its schedule.

Regards,
Don
