(Apologies to those of you who don't care about iHook. I'm looking to  
move all iHook things to SF.net in the near future, at which point  
discussion of iHook can move to an iHook mailing list.)

The short answer is that you need to create a LaunchAgent for iHook.  
A dummy example can be found here:

<http://www.ihook.org/files/edu.umich.iHook.loginwindow.plist>

Just installing (after local modifications for paths and options)  
this LaunchAgent in /Library/LaunchAgents on Leopard will get you  
something that behaves like running iHook out of cron on pre-10.5  
systems.

I thought it would take more work to get iHook running at arbitrary  
times on Leopard, but that turns out not to be the case. Using  
launchctl, you can force an iHook run:

root# launchctl start edu.umich.iHook.loginwindow.plist

In fact, because you can execute iHook this way, you don't  
necessarily have to rely on the StartCalendarInterval in the  
LaunchAgent to get scheduled runs. Your old scripts, executed by  
periodic or by cron, can simply use the launchctl command.

Getting all of these changes into the Radmind Assistant's bundled  
scripts will take some work. I'd be grateful if someone were able to  
dedicate some time to updating them for the next release while I work  
on the application itself.
