Hi There,

Does anybody know if there is a way, in OS 9, to schedule the running of applications with respect to time? For instance, say I want to run an applescript at 9:24 every morning or every tuesday or something like that. What I'm looking for is something similar to the 'crontab' program in UNIX.

Thanks for your help,

Hey, that looks pretty cool...but is there anything free that will do something similar? (I am a poor starving student)

Just another thing that will be a piece of cake when you upgrade to OS X.

Ah yes. Silly me. I didn't see the "Lite" version the first time I looked. Thanks for your help!
