10.4: A script to run iSync with one click

Tiger only hintJust an easy hint: I set up my sync services in Tiger a way that they are synced automatically every hour. But the automatic sync only refers to .Mac. I wanted to sync my mobile automatically this way as well using iSync.

So I wrote just a small AppleScript which does the job for me:

tell application "iSync"
  activate
  synchronize
  repeat
    if not syncing then exit repeat
  end repeat
  quit
end tell
Save this as a program and call it from the crontab. Or you could use a program like Butler or LaunchBar and start it with one simple keypress.
