[QUOTE="MattSharp, post: 703731, member: 22022"] So everywhere I read seems to be encouraing me not to use cronjobs but instead use launchd to run scheduled tasks. I want to schedule rsync to run every two hours between certain times of the day on certain days of the week. From what I can tell, this doesn't seem to be all that easy with launchd. I looked for tutorials but it seems like the best I can do is to set intervals for running things, but not schedule things at specific times. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
