How to automatically open a webpage at a certain time?

[tabasco70]

Hi, I was wondering if there was any simply way of setting a repetitive task of checking a certain page at certain times each day. (Like every hour or so)

If any of you know any good methods to achieve this, any advice will be much appreciated! Thank you!

You could set up a cron job if you have x11.app installed.

Start Terminal.app

crontab -e
0 8-17 * * * open http://www.webpageaddress.com/

for instructions on using crontab type
man crontab or
man cron
if you want to use another web application you use

0 8-17 * * * open -a firefox http://www.webpageaddress.com/

1) Write an Applescript to open the webpage.

2) Set an iCal event to trigger that Applescript whenever you want it.
