Or you can use a cron file.

i need to do the same thing

does cron support applescript .app’s?

example:

 0 1 * * * /path/to/script.app

With a cron task you can use “osascript” and “open” (which simply will launch your .app as if it was double-clicked in the Finder).

Just put it in iCal. iCal has a backgroun scheduler that will take care of it, the iCal app doesn’t have to be running.
