Scheduled command execution

Subject: Scheduled command execution
From: Alexander Hartner <email@hidden>

I have developed an application which needs to be run periodically in the background. I would like it however to still interact with the desktop for notifications and application such as growl. Initially I was hoping to be able to use cron. Cron executes the application but does not provide access to desktop notifications.

I am aware of the iCal option, but is this really the best choice?

I also thought about writing a login item and do the scheduling myself, however this would mean that the process is always present, even if it is inactive / sleeping, or is there another option.

Thanks in advance
Alex
