RE: Scheduled maintenance




Does anyone have any experience with Xserve Raid?  The reason I am asking is need to reset the password as not known.  Old system administrator has left, also would like to ask a few questions.

Thanks

Steven

Regarding this issue- How good does using sudo /etc/weekly work? I read that you can use this command and then not have to leave the machines on at night. Is this something you can use ARD's Send Unix Command with?

Nope.

It's a matter of opinion. I like to let them run.

Nah, either re-schedule them with cron, or just tell the Mac to  
startup/wake up at 2:30 so they are up and running.
