Using Automator for an all-night AutoClick

[RockyRaccoon88]

Hello all-
I need to create a workflow in automator that will run all night. It is for a contest between colleges, and I need to click it every 5 minutes. I have created several, but none will repeat. Any tips? Haven't been able to find ANY info online.

Please note that I do not have my Mac yet, nor have I ever owned one or used Automator.

However, I do know about Linux/UNIX. Can you try putting your script in a cron job that runs on a 5-minute basis?

Try this?
