Applescript or Automator to solve problem?
I've been a mac user now 2 years and never hopped on the forums until now.
I have a question that i'd love some insight on. I'll sum it up below and then give context to those who care to understand why i'm trying to figure this out.
QUESTION:
I need to automate an applicaiton to start and run on its own every morning, and if possible set it up to do the same routine weekly. I am not sure if apple script or automator is a better solution. Or if they are even able to do this and there is a beter solution.
CONTEXT:
I'm an artist, and i'm finding time being sucked away on various websites and applications (who isn't?). I am trying to content manage myself until things turn to habit. I find it easy to do in the real world with eating food for example. I just don't buy or have any bad food in my house. It took a while to do that, but the results are awesome. Now, software is a much different beast to control because of the great benefits. I found a nifty application I use called "SelfControl" which is awesome! However, I would like to automate its capabilities to start early AM and not give me the slightest chance at cheating the system. In fact, i'd love to automate it's capabilities throughout a week to be on a schedule.
I appreciate any and all advice.
