Can someone help me write up a quick applecript

[markelim]

Hi guys, I'm trying to write a applescript that opens up ical, waits 2 mins and closes the application, just enough time for it to sync my calendars. Can anyone help me with this. Im really no good at programming

You should be able to copy this into the AppleScript editor and save it.

tell application "iCal"
	activate
	delay 120
	quit
end tell

You could do it in Automator. Without being a programmer.

1. Launch Application
2. Pause
3. Quit Application

Each of those actions is under the Utilities sub-section of the builtin action library.
