Schedule a System Reboot with AppleScript

I need to schedule an AppleScript for reboot the system every day at 08:30. This computer does have yet an automatic boot scheduled with system preferences so I cannot use it again.

the script I can use is this:

tell application "System Events" restart end tell

what is the best method to call this script at a certain time every day?

Thank you

Solution

  • Thank you all! I tried all the methods you wrote and I found that for my case, the best way is using crontab.

    So I did in Terminal:

    crontab -e

    and added this line:

    30 08 * * * osascript /path/to/my/script.app

    So every day at 08:30 the system reboots.
