    I downloaded the SyncFolders action for Automator… This is running under Leopard. I set up an action to sync two folders and saved it as an Automator application. It runs fine when I run it manually.

    But I also tried saving it as an iCal plug-in so I could have it run nightly at 4:30am each night. It’s listed in iCal as shown here: https://www.kb2nea.org/creativecow/iCalSyncFolders.jpg

    …but it doesn’t seem to be running at night. Any ideas?

    I don’t now too much about this so I can’t tell you HOW to do it, but I know you can assign an automator action to a folder and it will run when the folder is modified. Look around in Automator’s help file, I know I’ve seen something about that in there.
