A shell script to use Skype for reminder calls
Authored by: mark hunte on Nov 08, '05 05:28:10PM
For those of you who like this but do not know cron ect. copy and save this script using Script Editor (apple script). Open iCal make an new event and set the alarm to 'run script'. navigate to the script you saved and set the time to execute.
tell application "Skype" to get URL "callto://+441234567"
I assume you are always sleeping in the same bed and have the same number, so the number is Hard coded in to the script.

A shell script to use Skype for reminder calls
Authored by: Boris Gordon on Nov 09, '05 06:58:43AM
When I use osascript to execute
tell application "Skype" to get URL "callto://+"
it works but when I use the line from the original hint
osascript -l AppleScript -e "tell application "Skype" to get URL "callto://+""
I get the following error :
34:41: syntax error: A ":" can't go after this identifier. (-2740)
Can anyone decipher this ?
