All:
Hello there. I have a quick question that I'm sure people can help me
with (and I couldn't find a good answer in the archives).
Let's pretend I have a Cocoa program that I would like to run at a
regular interval -- think Apple's Software Updater". This program
wants to run once a week, and if the day it is scheduled to run passes,
it runs during the next boot/wakeup.
Short of writing a little daemon that runs my application, does anyone
have an idea how to ensure that this happens? (I'm drawn to think of
at or cron, but I'm inclined to believe that neither are run when a
computer wakes; and, I think at jobs are lost on reboots...)
Thanks in advance.
