launchd does the job (at least it should)
Authored by: rocteur on May 21, '05 07:19:05AM

This is NOT the case on this Tiger 10.4.1

I've had the system for 2 weeks now and in /var/log, all I have is a daily.out from 5 days ago, no weekly.out ... There should be.

Is there something one must do to make launchd do this automatically ?

man launchd.conf

BTW, what a stupid man page, it does not give the format of the file ???
