Display iTunes cover art in iChat AV
You got to it first :)
I planned on posting a similar message. To execute an AppleScript as a background timed event you can use cron. There is a command line tool on OS X called osascript that can be used to execute applescripts (man osascript). For a good Cron GUI I'd recommend Cronnix - http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9478 The command to execute would be osascript (path/to/applescript) and you can do as many as you want. So if you open a terminal and type 'crontab -e' to edit your own crontab file you can enter something like: */5 * * * * /usr/bin/osascript /path/to/applescript1 */10 * * * * /usr/bin/osascript /path/to/applescript2 */15 * * * * /usr/bin/osascript /path/to/applescript3Then cntrl-x and return to save your changes and you have a cron job configured that will execute three applescripts - applescript1 will be run every 5 minutes, applescript2 every 10 and applescript3 every 15. BTW - mazatty - if you complete your scriptdaemon and it will be released as an open source freeware project let me know. I'd be happy to post it on cocoaobjects, perhaps you could supply a 'how to' to go along with it. Hope that helps, Daryl --- |
