Description

LaunchD Task Scheduler is a very simple to use and intuitive task scheduler for your Mac. It Creates, Edits and Delete Tasks which are used to automate launching application or scripts based on your specified schedule. Don't just take my word for it, read my reviews!

Advantages over other apps:
* Automatic detection of Automator jobs, perl, python, ruby, workflow scripts and more!
* Other apps do not allow editing, only creation of tasks
* Program parameter or arguments, other do not allow you to specify
* Great FAQ and quick expert tech support
* No need to log out or restart to start or remove a task
* Unlike other apps this places the files in the correct location, there are no further steps required

This app can start an app, command or script automatically at any schedule you choose and has many advanced features.

It can run tasks based on Mac events and will even restart a task on the event of a crash.

The UI is simple to use and can quickly create a task but it is also backed with complex features if required. Such as the ability to have tasks run with I/O priority reduced and nice levels.

This app makes configuration of LaunchD a breeze.

Great Simple Schedule tool

Does exactly what it says it does. Runs applications or scripts at a scheduled time repeating on a sheduled day etc. Much more reliable than trying to run from Calendar which kept produing duplicate lauches. Getting Workflows for Automator to run can be a bit of a problem until you find where the script is housed and that it is called a default name. This app would be made even better if it could schedule on alternate days, weks or months

Does not appear to allow one off schedules (and more).

FOR ME: simply will not allow you to create a single one off job (no such option - just varying repeats). Also does not schedule the Quitting of Application (I suppose you can make an automator app and start that through this but why?) In order to correctly remove a job - you need to to log out of your mac.
Maybe I am getting the wrong point of this - but this is not what I expected.
