Lee,
I read your submission to the AppleScript mailing list with great
interest. I am the author of Script Timer, a scheduling application
for AppleScript, perl and shell scripts for OS X. I don't know if you
are aware of this program or not, but just in case I thought I should
bring it to your attention, and I invite you to take a look at it on
my web site.
Passing any number of arguments to a script you want to schedule is
no problem with Script Timer. NOTE: The program only works when you
are logged in as its scheduling engine runs in the user domain, so
it's back to cron if you want a script to run when noone is logged
in. I got the impression that you were having trouble getting a
script to run from cron while still logged in, but with the screen
saver running. Is that correct? This is not a problem with Script
Timer - in fact with Script Timer you can even schedule scripts to
run when the screen saver starts or stops (as well as at system sleep
and wake).
I am not an experienced shell script programmer, but I found your
solution quite interesting.
Regards,
Don
