Product Description:

LaunchOnTime is an application utility for opening documents or executing AppleScripts at specified times. Drag and drop files or use the "Browse" button to add files to the list window. Then select one or more items and use the "Date-Time" selector to schedule their launch date. If the file is an AppleScript it will be executed, otherwise the file will be opened in the default application for the type of file. Click the "Start" button to run the schedule. Various options are available using the Preferences window, such as sending an email notification to a select recipient, or repeating the schedule periodically.

LaunchOnTime is part of the Limit Point Software "Utilities Bundle" which includes all software at http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html. When you register you will receive a permanent password which activates all the Utility software. All upgrades are free!

What's new in this version:

Enhanced the error messaging in the event of a problem sending email alerts.
Bug fix: If you moved an item to a new position in the list, just after it was added by dropping it into the window, the program would crash if you subsequently selected the item to set its launch time. (This did not occur if you added items using the "Browse" button.)

Why it requires OS X 10.4 - Version: 1.0.8, 7/25/2007 02:07PM PST

Mark Douma

The main interface of this application is Cocoa and it appears to be written in Objective-C. In one window it provides a calendar-and-clock style "date picker" interface object, similar to what's used in the Date & Time preference pane of System Preferences. This interface object is also known as an "NSDatePicker" object, and Apple first introduced it in OS X 10.4. So, in OS X 10.4 it's extremely easy for a developer to show a calendar, a simple drag and drop in Interface Builder and a few lines of code, and you're set. Prior to OS X 10.4, a developer could spend months trying to create a similar interface themselves. Versions of OS X 10.3 and earlier are unable display these types of objects which are created in later versions of OS X.

I'll never try this application because it's stated to work only with 10.4+ Why on earth should an application that can be replaced with 2 simple shell commands require 10.4 if these functionality is build into OS X since 10.0????

Just have a look at www.hmug.org/man/1/at.php

I could write a beautifull GUI for these tools in under 15 minutes. and this would work perfekt on every OS version.

I don't want to detract from the Developer's hard work, but one can launch any document at any given time simply by using iCal. Simply create an event in iCal and use the "Alarm" button set to "open File", with the relevant document or application specified.
