Hi buddies, I want to ask for help.
I’m so new to that applescript, so only you guys can help me.
I need a script, which could copy needed file from needed location (for example y.jpg in Documents folder) to needed location (for example to Desktop) with file overwting, with repeat with 180 seconds.
anyone can help? :rolleyes:

You could modify this:

tell application "Finder"
	set x to (choose file) as alias
	set dsktp to (path to desktop folder)
	set thedelay to 5
	repeat 2 times
		set destination to quoted form of ((POSIX path of dsktp) & name of x)
		set source to quoted form of POSIX path of x
		set command to "cp " & source & " " & destination
		do shell script command
		delay thedelay
	end repeat
end tell
