You might want to take a look at Script Timer, a trialware
application I publish. It was originally meant to schedule
AppleScripts, but the current version can directly launch any
application. (Of course, you could already do this with an
AppleScript.) You can schedule actions to happen at specific times of
the day, week, or month, on repeating intervals from any number of
minutes to any number of weeks, and at computer idle time.

IMO, OS X desperately needs such a general-purpose scheduler service.
There's loginwindow's scheduler (which Software Update uses), and
cron, and the sleep/wakeup notification service, etc., and there's no
real unified, Mac-friendly way of scheduling stuff.
So if loginwindow's scheduler and/or cron are inadequate, please

I've been looking at expanding Macaroni (<http://www.atomicbird.com/>)
into something like this. I don't know when/if it'll happen, but I've
got a bunch of enhancements to job scheduling on my "to do" list.
