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).

You cannot use cron anymore, though (unless you reconfigure to run it). If you want to run XJanitor.pl on a schedule, you will have to use launchd. I am sure we will read MUCH more on launchd soon.

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!

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...

The Tiger install removes all your entries from /etc/crontab.

If you put them back in they will run.

XJanitor.pl

It doesn't work for me--if I check the Xjanitor.out log I get:
sh: line 1: periodic: command not found
