Use Automator and crontab to create an alarm clock
Authored by: jacobolus on Nov 14, '05 09:40:58AM

All the shareware alarm clock apps I've seen stay open all the time. The silly thing is, launching processes on a schedule is something cron, launchd are very good at, so this design makes little sense. It would be really slick if someone made an alarm clock preference pane. Actually, sounds like a fun project for some rainy afternoon.
