Speak the time on the hour via Terminal
If you read the man page for crontab you'll see:
(Darwin note: Although cron(8) and crontab(5) are officially supported under Darwin, their functionality has been absorbed into launchd(8), which provides a more flexible way of automatically executing commands. See launchctl(1) for more information.)There's lots of examples available around the web for creating your own plist files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, e.g.: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html
Speak the time on the hour via Terminal
Except isn't very precise about Time. It has a known bug (or feature??) which makes the StartCalendarInterval (and in some cases the StartInterval) key virtually unusable. First StartInterval starts at "random" times, not at full or half hours like cron would do it (it just starts the job "roughly" every 60 minutes or 30 minutes or whatever you want). Then StartCalendarInterval gets totally out of it's time if you send your mac to sleep, it will just add the sleeping time to the time specified, which makes this key totally useless. |
