I used to do this under OS 9 and I think OS 8 before that. I used a cron like tool to fire off the scripts. I can't remember the name of it right now, and doing a quick search I came up with iDo Script Scheduler, which might have been the one I was using (although I thought I was using a free one, and iDo is commercial). But basically, that is what you need, something to fire applescripts (or other things) on a regular schedule. If you don't want to use iDo, search for an OS 8 capable cron replacment. -chris <www.mythtech.net> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
