Automatically Open a File at a Pre-Set Time

Scripting Forums Automator
#1

Hello. I am hoping that someone might be able to help me. I am new to using Automator. I want to set my mac to open a file (a sound file or a picture) at a seccific time each day. Kind of like how you can set start-up and shut-down times in the system preferences, exept that I want to open an individual file. Is there a way to use automator to do this? I have been looking at Automator (with all of it’s pre-defined actions, I thought there would be something for this), but didn’t see anything like this. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thank you very much.

you could use
get specified finder items
||
open finder items

or you could just do an apple script and create an event in iCal and use the run script property of the event.
then do a small script thats like

do shell script "open '/Users/kim/file.txt'"

that should point you in a right direction
