I would recommend anacron instead
Use Fink to install anacron and let it handle the daily/weekly/monthly scripts instead. Anacron works like cron but understands that computers can be turned off. Install and forget, it will just work.

I concur with the choice of anacron. What it does for me--with not configuration--is checks every hour at :15 after to see if the scripts have been run in that calendar day (midnight to midnight, not the last 24 hours). If not, it runs them.

the scripts are rather processor intensive so if you've got other heavy work going on, it's a bit annoying to wait those five or ten minutes for the scripts to finishI agree - this is what has inhibited me from doing anything so far about making the scripts run during "normal" hours. So what would be good would be a dialog (could be done with AppleScript) that would ask "Is this a good time?" and allow me to postpone script execution like a snooze button on an alarm clock. |
