And also for OS9 (actually, 7.xx => sys <=9.xx), there is a freeware called
'Crond' which is, of course, a nix cron port.
Uses the same format for cron commands. Files get named their 'cron name'
and they fire as set. Files can be anything.
I have used 'crond' since 1995, and it has fired on my machine every
Thursday since the week after I installed it. It runs 'macjordomo' for one
of our private weekly lists, and is a bea-uuuu-tiful little ditty.
