    is there an app to schedule launching and quitting other apps?

    is there an app to schedule the launching and quitting of other apps? for example, dropbox launches at boot but i don't need it running all the time, so is there an app to shut it down a minute after boot once it has synced? or can apple script do that? if so, how? thanks
