Task Till Dawn
Task Till Dawn is a free task scheduler which can execute your repetitive tasks (i.e. open files or applications) at specified times or intervals. For example, use Task Till Dawn to automatically let iTunes download the newest Podcasts at a specified time. Or let it backup your important files every day. Needless to say, tasks can also be executed manually
The application is written in Java and therefore basically platform independent. Currently, versions for Windows and Mac OS X (Intel) are available. A Linux version will probably also be available in the future.
As this project is provided under the GPL, you can take the sourcecode and fit it to meet your own needs. Pre-compiled versions, as well as the sourcecode, are available in the Downloads section. The application is multilingual (English, German, Spanish and French).
Tasks can be executed with a delay. This might come in handy if a to be executed application has to access the Internet connection, which often is not available directly after a computer wakes up from sleep or powers up. Additionaly, it is possible to cancel a tasks upcoming execution during this delay. In case of an error, Task Till Dawn displays a message in the tasklist. Tasks can also be disabled to temporarily avoid execution.
Different notification services can be used to notify the user whenever a task will be executed shortly. It is possible to use Growl notifications, text to speech and others as well.

I like the application, the simple interface is wonderful. One extra I might ask for is to be able to run the script/app/etc. in the background.
Cheers,

Me parece un buen programa. De interfaz sencilla, fácil de aprender y fácil de usar. Tal vez le haría falta que le agregaras la opción de iniciar con windows. Por lo demás es perfecto. Gracias

Well there isn't much I can say about this useful little app, I love it! But I think the UI could be a bit more polished? More non-computer-savvy-friendly? Anyway I appreciate this app a lot and thank you so much for making this app.
Keep up the good work!

It was a great surprise to find your software. It is so simple and effective! The great PRO is the option to open an especific file instead of only a program. Uau!!
Perfect!
