Schedule Automator Workflows

By C.K. Sample, III

If you don't like playing around with cronjobs in the Terminal, you prefer to keep things GUI-licious, but you would still like to schedule things to occur on your Mac at certain times, then the solution may be found in this useful Mac OS X Hint.

It requires leaving iCal open on your system, but yYou simply schedule times when you would prefer a certain Automator workflow that you have created to run, then add an alarm to the event in iCal, and select Open File and choose the Automator workflow you'd like to run. Easy.
