If you always want it to run sometime in the middle of the night, you could use launchd to kick off your script. Have it die first thing if there aren't any files to process. You probably could use Automator (or launchd for that matter) to watch your folder and set a flag somewhere to indicate that processing is requested. A second process then checks that flag at night and starts as necessary. But, two processes seems redundant. More info about the nature of your app would be beneficial. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp eabb6fe6 d47c500f b2458f5d a7cc7abb f81c4e00 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
