ive been using adium for awhile now (since the daily binaries) and have been building from source for just about as long.

is there a way, instead of manually typing "cd adium, svn update" that i can download the latest svn source at regular intervals (automated), say the 1st of each month? if someone could help me with a script i would be so happy.

to further explain what i mean is this...on the 1st of each month, if im logged in, the latest svn source will be downloaded at a given time. if im not logged in during this specific time, it would download as soon as i logged into my account on my imac.

i've seen various scripts over the months, but nothing as ive mentioned.

Try looking at cron, or Cronnix for a GUI frontend.

If I were on Tiger, I would go the Automator way, saving as iCal plugin.

i agree with eevyl, because if you go that way then you can build it automatically too

Check out buildDaily.sh script in adium/Utilities/Build
