Six More Scripts for Safari Beta

Here are six more assorted scripts for use with Safari Beta. Safari URLs and web page information are downloaded and sent to Stickies, iCal, and Internet Location files for various purposes.

CronniX 2.0.1

CronniX is a Aqua frontend to the powerful Unix tool "cron". Cron is a Unix system service that allows scheduled execution of scripts, programs, applications - in short anything that can be started from the command line. This includes OS X applications and AppleScript scripts. Version changes: Fixed a bug that would crash CronniX when parsing a crontab with environment variables like the system crontab.

Regarding Apple's instructions for the iCal script mentioned yesterday...

In reviewing the instructions (as of noon EST on January 19, 2003), I've discovered what I believe to be an error. I've notified Apple but here is what I believe needs to be corrected.

In paragraph 4 of step #1, it says:
A window named "iCal" will open. This window will contain a single folder named "Contents". Place the script file "Mail.scpt" that you downloaded into the "Contents" folder. Confirm in the forthcoming dialog that you want to replace the existing script.
Here's what I think it should say:
A window named "iCal" will open. This window will contain a single folder named "Contents". Open the "Contents" folder. This will reveal, among other things, a "Resources" folder. Place the script file "Mail.scpt" that you downloaded into the "Resources" folder. Confirm in the forthcoming dialog that you want to replace the existing script.

Of course I could be wrong, but the corrected version worked for me.
