Launchd manual settings
Authored by: ukkarhu on May 04, '05 02:43:04AM
Launchd runs the periodic scripts automagically. Look in /var/log for daily.out, weekly.out and monthly.out. Check the datestamp of the log files to confirm when they ran. You can also use launchd to run these manually i.e.

sudo launchd periodic daily

Launchd manual settings
Authored by: ukkarhu on May 04, '05 02:58:07AM
Although the above works, by looking in the man pages, it seems the correct way to manually start daemons is:

sudo launchctl start com.apple.periodic-daily
where the phrase after 'start' is the label as defined in the xml plist file and displayed with the command:

sudo launchctl list
