You type (paste) something like this into a terminal window:
/path/to/cake/console/cake -app /path/to/cake/app you then add the name of the shell you want to run. My cron task is called "hourly" as in my previous post. When running this as a cron job (= automatically) I have found the return from the shell causes problems so I add " >>/ dev/null 2>&1 " at the end which swallows any output. On your Mac you might not want to run it as a cron. But if you do there are applications to download that give you a graphical tool to set cron jobs (or Apple's replacement as the case may be). The actual "cron" tools are aparently now seen av deprecated by Apple (sigh) but they are still there. /Martin On Jan 20, 2:57 pm, Kyle Decot <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm really confused about shell tasks.
