I created 288 different earth renders depending on sun position (one for every 5 earth minutes) based on this file from blendswap. It the image sequence starts at noon and ends at noon. I would like to set at each time of day the correct image as background image on OS X (eg at 12.00 it should be image No 1 at 18:00 it should be image No 72 ). How could I do that.
(The Original Idea was to use the "change background image every 5 minutes" setting in OS X background settings, but it only changes the picture if the computer is awake. Therefore the sequence would be out of sync every time I shut down the computer
btw I uploaded the Files
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19023009/Blender/background.zip
They are at full Retina resolution at 650MB. + blendfile + license.

Thank you for your input
So finally I managed to do it (at least I think so)
I embedded an Applescript to change the background in a shell script which I added it to launchd.
This is what it looks like:
Script "scriptly.sh"
launchd file "com.individual.Background.plist"
command to put it in action
launchctl load /Users/USERNAME/Individualfile/com.individual.Background.plist
EDIT:
The last command is there to load the script directly, however It will not be executed on startup. To do That you have to copy the file
com.individual.Background.plist
to the ~/Libary/LaunchAgents/ folder.
