I had earlier asked Mr. Piwowar about how OS X 10.5 handles the UNIX
maintenance routines. As far as I can determine, and there really
doesn't seem to be a lot of quickly available info about this on the
'net, ever since OS X 10.4, Macintosh machines will run maintenance
scripts automatically either if the computer is on at the scheduled
time, or the scripts will run if the machine is "awakened" if it was in
"sleep" mode at the time the script would have run. It seems as though
the scripts will not automatically be run upon start-up if the machine
was shut down at the time the scripts were scheduled to be run.
