Mac 101: schedule your scripts

We talk about iCal once in a while. Did you know that an iCal alarm can launch an AppleScript? A recent comment from reader Zach (and subsequent replies) made us think that this tip might be of use to anyone who hasn’t considered the possibilities.
When you schedule an alarm in iCal, one of the options for the alarm is “Run script.” If you select “Other…” from the script selection dropdown, you can choose any AppleScript you want to launch. Then you just tell the alarm when to go off and your script will run.
