I use recurring event in iCal which executes an AppleScript to do much the same thing...

Code:
tell application "GrowlHelperApp" set myAllNotesList to {"SMART Test"} register as application "iCal Scripting SMART Check" all notifications myAllNotesList default notifications myAllNotesList icon of application "iCal" notify with name "SMART Test" title "S.M.A.R.T." description "Checking main drive SMART status..." application name "iCal Scripting SMART Check" end tell set status to do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil info disk0 | grep SMART" if status is " SMART Status: Verified" then tell application "GrowlHelperApp" notify with name "SMART Test" title "S.M.A.R.T." description "SMART status - OK" application name "iCal Scripting SMART Check" end tell else display dialog "A hardware problem has been detected on your hard drive:" & return & return & status end if

Yes, I have it up and running. Discovered it after a scare with my brand-new iMac G5 where I had to reformat the drive. Works fine so far.
