This is the default.
But from your description in subsequent posts, you don't seem to need an
on-demand behavior.
I would thus set this one to false.

Wouldn't a full path (ie /usr/bin/osascript) be needed here?

Since 10.4 and up to 10.4.8, I have been unable to *reliably* use
launchd for tasks needing to be launched at regular intervals; it
somehow works, if one may allow some timing inacurracies, but sometimes
with big surprises.
