10.4: Reschedule periodic maintenance tasks
Yes you can use anacron. But this is not what we want.
10.4: Reschedule periodic maintenance tasks
XJanitor.pl worked for me through 10.3.9, but the structure is now changed. I use a PowerBook G4 which is off at the critical times when maintenance runs. I need the "catch up" on missed tasks ability and I suppose many others do as well.
XJanitor.pl
XJanitor.pl still works. It runs the periodic scripts directly (if needed). Just execute it from the terminal (or whatever method you normally use).
Cron does run
Let me correct myself: cron is running on Tiger without any need to reconfigure. I guess I should have tested it before saying that it did not run!
Cron does run
Hmmm... well, I can see in Activity Monitor that cron is running, but my jobs in /etc/crontab are not executing. This is driving me crazy...

XJanitor.pl

10.4: Reschedule periodic maintenance tasks
I would like to re-enable XJanitor to run on my laptop, but I am worried that the launchd process will still run the maintenance tasks if I leave it running all night. I assume that I would need to disable the launchd part that fires off the maintenance tasks if I am going to use XJanitor. I have some log scripts that rely on the logs being there, such as webalizer. |
