I have a little shell script which creates a new reminder for a project. This works pretty fine and I can execute in the command line newCfSamples "my new sample"
and the reminder gets created.
I now have a little R script, which figures out what samples are new and it should create a reminder for this. This script works fine as well and creates the Reminders.
Both together, so cron is starting my R script fails at the point when it is executing my little newCfSamples
script with the following error message: execution error: Reminders got an error: An error of type -1743 has occurred. (-1743)
.
I then started my script directly with cron
and this also fails. Here is the complete error message.

Would be great if somebody would help me get this running.
My newCfSamples
script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Make a new reminder via terminal script
# args: remind <title> <date> <time>
my_date=`date "+%d/%m/%Y"`
my_time='09:00'
osascript - "$1" "${my_date}" "${my_time}" <<END
on run argv
set stringedAll to date (item 2 of argv & " " & item 3 of argv)
tell application "Reminders"
make new reminder in list "CF User Sample" with properties {name:item 1 of argv, due date:stringedAll}
end tell
end run
END

I think I found the solution. As I mentioned in the above comments, I am using the GUI LaunchControl, I started the job once by hand with the menu Job -> Start and I got a little popup if R is allowed to access Reminders. I clicked yes and now it is working.
It looks like, this popup couldn't be displayed so I could never allow it.
