New Tutorial: Using Crontab
Posted by Ben Reubenstein Sat, 06 May 2006 11:36:00 GMT
For a while now I have been doing a lot of regular tasks manually on my OS X box. On my linux boxes I have been using good old Cron for these tasks. Today I started using crontab, since it is installed by default on Mac OS X. There are several tutorials and sites that have information on crontab, but they were not as direct as I would have liked so I put together this tutorial, Using Crontab with Mac OS X, Unix, and Linux. Enjoy!
So what kinda jobs are you scheduling? database clean up scripts or something?

Right now it runs my stats at a regular interval. I also have some customers that I suck logs from every night for processing. MySQL backups coming soon.
