Is there a way to use the good old cron to launch processes at a
predefined time on 10.4 systems? I only seem to get Launchd to launch
tasks to be done every X minutes (I have two of them on a Tiger
Server machine). When I try a task to start, for example, everyday at
1AM (using the StartCalendarInterval), nothing happens... I'm started
to get really "happy" about launchd... it's a wonderful idea, but
what's the use if it's so buggy it cannot launch my processes in a
reliable way?
For example, yesterday I added a new task to be launched at 1AM
every day. I checked with launchctl list and it was there. Today,
it's 1:45 AM here, and it did NOT run, and does not show up on
launchctl list... what the heck is this?
I paste the plist file here, just to check if I'm doing something
wrong...
