Any ideas? I thought about writing an app that does the same thing every 5 minutes but I’ve had lousy luck writing “on idle” statements that work reliably.
Why bother using AppleScript when you can use “open –a” from the shell?
You need to be careful to get the app name exactly right, but it would seem more direct than getting cron to launch a script to launch an app. And errors can be sent to the bitbucket in the normal way...
