- Why AppleScript
- AppleScript can automate monotonous, repetitive tasks, or tasks that need to be performed at a specific time. Mac OS X can (using it’s built-in scheduler via programs such as Apple’s iCal or Embraceware’s Awaken) run any script on the minute you need it to run.
- Script Editor
- Every Macintosh comes with a program called “AppleScript Editor” that allows you to create AppleScripts. AppleScript Editor is in the Applications folder, inside of the Utilities folder.
