Stephen Jennings over 14 years+1 Although I find it odd coming from Windows, this is the "real" method for scheduling tasks through the Mac OS X GUI.

Steve Folly over 14 years@Stephen: I wouldn't say it's the "real" method, but it's one method. An alternative is to use Launch Daemons (or Agents if the script needs to use the GUI). developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Concept‌​ual/… , but that is a more technical solution that some people might find a bit daunting.
