I've copied a script from Alvin Alexander and then modified it a bit.
It is intended to open some URLs for me on a repeating basis. I have
the script saved as an application bundle which is called as an alarm
by iCal. My difficulty is that the script requires a keyboard command
to enter the URL, which means that I can't be touching the machine
when the script runs, or I likely interfere with its successful
execution.
I think that the most recent Safari allows you to create new tabs via
applescript. I don't have it to try. This works for older versions:
set urlList to {"http://dogpile.com";, "http://www.littlegolem.net/"} --
urls require "http://";
tell application "Safari" to activate
repeat with i from 1 to (count urlList)
tell application "System Events"
-- for each additional url, first create a tab
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
tell application "Safari"
set URL of document 1 to (item i of urlList) -- top tab is always
document 1
end tell
end repeat
