Avoid Western Digital external drives' built-in spin down
I'm fairly new to the Mac world, but I thought an advantage was BSD under the hood. In this case: why use launchd and add yet another app to your machine to control access to it when you can just add a cron job that calls your bash script every 5 minutes? That's my Linux mind solving the run-it-periodically problem.

Launchd is Apple's replacement for cron in 10.5, and is always running.

What's bullshit is that Apple disabled user crontabs in 10.5. Well, sort of. |
