A shell script to use Skype for reminder calls
Authored by: mark hunte on Nov 08, '05 05:51:02PM
For those of you who do not want to play with cron. ect. save this applescript (using script editor) as a script
tell application "Skype" to get URL "callto://+442071234567"

delay 29 -- gives about 7 rings, which is just before my answer service kicks in and holds the connection open.
tell application "Skype" to quit
Open iCal, make new event, set an alarm to 'Run Script' . Navigate to the saved file. set the alarm time. and Bobs your milkman's brother.
