Dear WeatherCat fans, [cat]
Always best to strike the iron when it is hot, so I just went ahead and wrote up the WeatherCat wiki entry explaining how to start and stop WeatherCat on a schedule using CronniX (http://code.google.com/p/cronnix/). If you are wondering how - here is how!!

It's a bit sketchy. Let me know if you'all need some more detail.
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

Dear WeatherCat fans,
Randall sent me an email reminding that you can use iCal to trigger AppleScripts and that's much easier than using CronniX. I've done that, but . . . . *sigh* I just never put the two pieces together. :-[
I had hoped to just edit my Wiki posting but I would really need to rename the page and that's hard to do in a Wiki. So phooey! I just wrote another page that describes how to use iCal instead of CronniX

So now you'all have two ways to do this and there is yet a third if you use Automator!!
Is this the ultimate case of more ways than one to skin a cat? [cat]
;) Oops!! I didn't say that!! :-[
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

Another way to do this under more conditions: sleep, awake, restart etc is the scenario app. Costs $5 tho. See my other post today under iMac sleep issues
