Huge Repository of pre-made Actions.
To enable an action or workflow at specific times use iCal:
Save the Automator workflow as an application.
Select Add Alarm on a new or current event.
Select Open File: Other, and open your saved workflow application.
Enter the time and date that you want the workflow to run.
If iCal is not running at the scheduled time, the workflow will run
when iCal is next opened.

Unlike WAMUG heroes like Glen Low, I find the workings of Automator
to be fairly mysterious at times. Often, what seems to be a fairly
logical approach just plain doesn't work for me, and I have to
spend a lot of time mucking around with it fairly blindly before I
find a solution to my (Automator) problem.
This morning I read about the Mac OS X Technology Guide to
Automator, a 219-page eBook from Spiderworks. At $US15 I've gone
ahead and grabbed a copy. Now I know how I'll be spending the long
weekend...
