What's the easiest way for a user to run an AppleScript periodically?

@mjtsai Cron job with osascript? Or is this not a cron-using user?

@incanus77 I’m looking for something for less technical users.

@mjtsai custom alert action in iCal is a very user friendly to set something like an applescript to execute periodically.@incanus77 -
@bmike Calendar no longer allows you to run scripts, so you need to open an app (and see it bounce in the Dock). Or am I missing something? -
@mjtsai I use Automator to make a custom calendar event. It should be able to execute an AppleScript. I can test if needed later.

@mjtsai How about an Automator action with a loop and wait period? -
@incanus77 Seems like that’s equivalent to writing a script that stays running. You’d need to find some other means of getting it going. - Show more
