Having been built on BSD Unix, Mac OS X inherits a useful Unix feature called “cron”. Cron lets you schedule your apps to automatically run at specific times. For example, you can set your backup program to run every night or automatically repair disk permissions each week. Unfortunately, cron isn’t easy to use.
Enter Cronnix. Cronnix lets you manipulate the cron settings (the so-called “crontab”) without having to get your hands dirty in the UNIX Terminal.
Check Macosxhints.com for good material on how to use cron and Cronnix.
