For a Mac-like way to schedule events, please take a look at a little application I publish called Script Timer. It's main purpose is to schedule AppleScript and other kinds of scripts, but it can easily schedule your application to run at the times you want it to do something.

Don

Im building an application that requires scheduled events.
I was hoping to build these events right into osx - so the user didn't have to have the app running all the time to 'catch' these events/schedules.


Is there a way of doing this?

Check out the following things:

launchd
cron
iCal (it can run AppleScripts etc. and you could integrate with that)
background-only applications (NSUIElement, NSBgOnly plist flags)
Kernel extensions
The Darwin source code


I can't give you any more precise plans because you've not been precise on what you actually want to do either.
