在活动日通过终端启动Mac应用程序

Question

i have an task to create event on particular day and time i have to open any sample application automatically so far i done created an event on date and time but i dono how to add script to launch application

here my sample code:

osascript -e 'tell application "iCal" to make new event at end of calendar 1 with properties {start date:date "12, 19, 2016 1:02:00 PM", summary:"Demo"}'

here is another code which i found to open any Application in single command :

open -a iTunes 

The above code which is tested on Terminal and Event is created on calendar

Now what i actually Need this is it possible to combine this two script in single command and Test it ?(ie on particular date i want to launch my App automatically)

Answer 1

You basically need to create a "open file alarm" with the path to some Applescript that opens the application:

tell application "iCal"
   tell calendar "My Calendar"
      set theEvent to event 1
      set theDate to (current date) - 3 * days
      tell theEvent
         make new open file alarm at end with properties {trigger date:theDate, 
            filepath:theFile}
      end tell
   end tell
end tell

See example .
