Once again, after the recent upgrade (Mavericks 10.9.2), scheduling of javascripts thru iCal is broken. Only me?

What do you mean by "scheduling of Javascripts"?

I mean setting up a script to run at a particular time. Used to be I did this thru iCal. Then it had to involve Automator. Then back to just being able to set it up in iCal (again). Now I don't know what works. Tnx.

You used to be able to script things using JS in Calendar? I didn't know that.

It doesn't look like you can anymore but you can certainly script things to execute at certain times. Are you familiar with cron or launchd?

Yes. It was simple to do in iCal. But they seem to break this function rather often with new upgrades.
