Keep magicJack window hidden

This is a fairly obvious hint, but it may help some of the Mac-owning magicJack users out there who are frustrated by the fact that the magicJack window pops open whenever you make or receive a call. To fix this, open AppleScript Editor and make this simple script:

tell application "Finder" to set visible of process "magicJack" to false

Save it to your /Library/Scripts folder. Next, create a cron entry (mine is set to run every five minutes) to run the script:

*/5       *       *       *       *     /usr/bin/osascript /Library/Scripts/minimize_magicjack.scpt
The cron job launches the AppleScript, which then hides the magicJack window.

[robg adds: I haven't tested this one. cron isn't the officially-supported OS X solution, but it still works. This ancient hint contains some basic information on how to use it.]
