If you have Entourage, you can create a schedule to launch the Automator app. You can pick the days and times to run the selected file. The action is called "Launch alias" and you can select your Automator.app.

The problem with creating the scheduled alarms (to launch the app) in iCal is that each of those events will show up on the iPhone, which we are trying to avoid.

Lingon has been mentioned here, but (I guess I'm missing something) but I hadn't been able to get that to work. The Entourage schedule seems to be my best workaround to run the Automator.app. Anybody have another non-Entourage scheduling app solution?

I have gotten this to work with Lingon by saving the automator workflow as an application, and then for the "what" section in Lingon just click choose and browse to the app.

For example if your automator application is at ~/Workflows/calendar.app then your "what" section will read:

/Users/<shortname>/Workflows/calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/calendar
