launchStandupHangout.scpt

on run argv
	set location to "https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/e5004c1b005ddf21"
	if length of argv > 0 then set location to item 1 of argv
	
	tell application "System Events"
		tell application "Safari" to activate
		tell process "Safari"
			click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
		end tell
	end tell
	
	
	tell application "Safari"
		set URL of document 1 to location
	end tell
end run

This system auto-launches Safari to a Google Hangout every weekday at 9:58 am.

1. Drop the plist file into ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
2. Register it (via command line): launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/Launch\ Google\ Hangout.plist

launchStandupHangout.scpt has the added benefit of using a passed-in URL to navigate the browser to instead.

e.g.

osascript ~/launchStandupHangout.scpt -> goes to the default URL specified on line 2.

osascript ~/launchStandupHangout.scpt 'http://google.com' -> goes to google.com instead.
