How do you make iSync (on Snow Leopard) sync automatically?

Question

Is there an easy way to get the iSync software on Snow Leopard (verson 3.1.0) auto sync every x minutes?

I've set it up to sync with Google contacts (in Gmail), but I'd like it to run automatically in the background.

Answer 1

You can set an Apple script to automatically tell iSync to sync.

tell application "iSync"

    if not syncing then
    	synchronize
    	repeat while syncing
    		delay 1
    	end repeat
    	quit
    end if

end tell

Set it to run at period intervals using Automator workflows.
