Auto open applications at a certain time?

[poohat1000]

Does anyone know of an app / script that would let me set my mac to auto open certain apps at a certain time? So I could say set it to open skype at 9pm or something like that?

Thanks

here is very simple applescript to do that through ical.

tell application "application name"
activate
end tell


open applescript - script editor to write that script, then in ical set an appointment to repeat everyday, under the alarm option tell it to run script and select the applescript you have made.

to close it, write another applescript that says


tell application "application name"
quit
end tell

set another appointment in ical and set that script to it.
