Message: <blockquote data-quote="KLank" data-source="post: 25260">OK, so what are the cron tasks?  And why isn't there something that will automatically kick off the missed cron tasks?  And not looking to start trouble, but if the OS X is supposed to be so good and stable, why do people have to manually repair permissions and run missed cron jobs to keep it running smoothly?  I'm just looking for some information here.  As so far I really like the laptop, but I am thinking about saving up and moving the wife from her WinXP laptop to an iBook when I get the money.  And there is no way in **** I am going to get her to be doing tasks like that!  Everything else seems to be geared to just "work", so why doesn't system maintenance fall into this category too?  Just curious.  Ken</blockquote>
