What is the preferred way to programmatically schedule a SEND/FAX event, (preferably via Cocoa)? I could supply the necessary parameters & data, perhaps stored in User Defaults or a flat file.
Use launchd. (I think cron still exists, but only as legacy, and it's run by launchd anyway.) It's not what I'd call easy, though. You'll need to generate the plist (in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/), run launchctl via NSTask to register it, and then your task should presumably delete the plist and run launchctl again after it finishes.
Make sure to read the "daemons and agents" tech note, and the man pages for launchctl(1) and launchd.plist(5).
