I want to make an app that will say something (I will program what it will say later) so leave a “say” function with filling text and I will change it later, and it will start at a certain time like: 10:45 AM, say something, and end at 10:55 AM and say something and say something and I want it to repeat that 9 times. Thanks for all the help.
thx

Just save the code below as an Application bundle in Script Editor and create a corresponding cron job.
on run
set sentence to "Martin, wake up, it's scripting time!"
repeat 9 times
say sentence using "Fred"
end repeat
end run
This would be the necessary entries for your crontab (of course you need to adjust the script path):
45 10 * * * open '/Users/martin/Desktop/wakeup.app'
55 10 * * * open '/Users/martin/Desktop/wakeup.app'
In case you are not familiar with setting up and using cron jobs, this might a good starting point.
Thanks Martin Michel… but perhaps is there an easier way to do it without cron jobs?
Thanks

Well, setting up cron jobs is easy But you might want to use iCal instead
Good luck!
