Or use Folder Actions
WARNING! Shameless plug alert!
You can keep your desktop sparkling clean without altering anything in the system using OS X's built in "Folder Actions." Check out this hint of mine for details. And yes, that is a joke in the second paragraph ;-). The short version of the hint is to attach this folder action script to the Desktop folder:
Replace "Path:to:new:folder:" with the actual path name you will be using. After that everything that you send to the Desktop or drop on it gets redirected to the folder you specified in the path.

Or use Folder Actions
Hey, thanks! I'd been approximating this behavior with a cron job: $ crontab -l
(note: the command activates only once per day, at 1AM) But this is much better, since it uses system events rather than polling. |
