MacOS is based on Unix not Linux.
However, I mostly agree with your sentiment and would extend it to “use the right tool for the job”. Use launchd (although I hear it is on the way out) instead of Cron etc.
- fortran77 7y agoIt's based on Mach via NeXTStep. Not Unix.
- justinator 7y agoWay back in the day, Mac OS X was, "Unix Certified(tm)", so it's correct to say it's unix, technically. Has that certification changed?

- schappim 7y agoUmmm not in the dimension I live in. Ever since the launch of Mac OS X, Apple has considered and marketed macOS / the Mach micro kernel as a Unix. See: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/801429696172374556/ https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/801429696172374556/

- wila 7y agoThe exact same problem happens when you use launchd.
- pkulak 7y agoWhat is going to replace launchd???
- schappim 7y agoI recall Rene Ritchie saying that Apple introduced a new scheduler that they have used privately since Mojave (could be related to the BGTaskScheduler, but I'm uncertain). I just remember thinking, oh crap, now I need to learn a new scheduler.
