I'm somewhat new to Mac, only had my Macbook a week. I used IsiloX on my Dell to convert a website I subscribe to, and while I've managed to install and set up IsiloX here on the Mac, the one thing I can't figure out how to do is schedule updates to happen automatically.

I usually Hotsync around 5 am, and I want to set up iSiloX to update itself around 3 or 4 am. In Windows I could do this in task scheduler, in Mac I'm clueless.

Welcome to the Mac world. What your looking for is Cronnix. Same thing as task scheduler.

In the unix world, tasks are actually cron jobs and Cronnix is the ui to crontab. If you have any other mac questions, just pm them to me. I've been using mac for years and will never go back to winblows.
