Subject: Script Timer 2.2 - script and application scheduling software

Script Timer will run your AppleScript, perl, or shell scripts, as
well as applications, at set times of the day, week, month, or year
as well as at regular time intervals ranging from one minute to any
number of weeks with specifiable start and stop times. You can also
use the program to invoke actions when the computer enters or leaves
an idle state. Using a feature called Dynamic Scheduling, you can
arrange for an AppleScript script to schedule any other script or
application on the fly at a time of its choice.

Script Timer has two modules, a scheduling engine with an extremely
small memory footprint that is designed to run unobtrusively in the
background, and an Editor with drag and drop graphical user interface
for creating and manipulating scheduling data files. The scheduling
engine runs in the user domain, which allows it to be easily
controlled by a Start/Stop button in the GUI program, and provides
for greater security. A log file records each action, including error
messages and optional messages returned from a script, allowing for
easy troubleshooting and script results recording. The application
comes with several sample scripts that illustrate its use, including
examples of Finder and third party application scripting, and the use
of parameterized scripts. Also included is Track Timer, a script that
provides an interface between Script Timer and iTunes for automatic
music play.
