Problems executing an osascript command via cron

Question

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.

290:540: execution error: Reminders got an error: An error of type -1743 has occurred. (-1743)

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

on run 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

Answer 1

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.
