[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1469193, member: 71075"] Not necessarily - mail is "sent" to you (this is the system mail - it's a Unix thing) upon completion of any cron task. The joy of doing this in the background is that you won't see anything. The command is being executed behind the scenes. An example from my machine are my backups to Dropbox. When a cron job runs, I have no idea until I see Dropbox syncing my data right on schedule. The easiest way to find out if this worked is to check the App Store for updates. [/QUOTE]
