Anyone know why launchd hasn't taken off in this regard? I've used it on my personal systems with success, but rarely (if ever) see it mentioned as a cron replacement. Instead, you frequently see these solutions done from scratch.
- andrewflnr 14y agoLink for the ignorant and lazy, as I once was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd Seems like a decent idea. According to Wikipedia, Ubuntu considered it in 2006 when they were looking for a new unit system, but didn't like that it was under Apple's own license, which was shortly thereafter changed to the Apache license. I'll remember it if I want to do something unconventional on a system.
