Delayed folder action -- possible?

[kylera]

This goes out to all coders: Is it possible to create a folder action that runs at a certain interval? I would like to have files with a certain name deleted every week, for example.

I don't think you can do a delayed folder action. It doesn't really make sense as a possibility. However, there are multiple ways to do what you want.

One would be to use Automator combined with a repeating iCal event.

Another would be to use Cron with a shell script.
