The upshot of that discussion was to get MacJanitor and just remember to use it. But, the larger question of how to run cron tasks at other times or on portables was left unanswered. In the *nix world many folks use Anacron. This has been recently ported to OS-X and is available at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/anacron.html Jerry | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be May 25.
