Anacron?
Authored by: sahilt on May 03, '05 12:04:51PM

It's not immediately clear how to setup Anacron to 'catch-up' tasks that are not run via cron (but instead via launchd). Does anyone want to write-up a basic HOWTO?

After all, it will be useful (especially for use iBook/Powerbook users), and certainly not more basic than instructions on removing Dashboard from the Dock. ;-)

there is an option to run launchagents and launchdaemons not only at certain time, but periodically. i couldn't figure out, whether a periodic daemon gets started, if it was dued while the computer slept.
