I wanted to do the same thing you did, but I created a Launchd script to accomplish it, instead. Once I installed it, it will run even if the power goes out and the machine reboots and is sitting at the login screen. Granted, the Automator way is far easier than what I did... Launchd is not fun. I much prefer cron, but Apple is moving away from it. Don’t you have to be logged in for Automator to do its work?
