Hello I have two jobs listed in my crontab. Both these jobs run without a hitch when executed by hand on Terminal (please keep that in mind when you read what is written below). I am using the full paths of the commands (so duplicity is /opt/local/bin/duplicity). Both jobs are bash scripts executed by the same user. Job 1 gets executed properly on the specified time and ...

A more elegant way to do this is using AppleScript. Something like: Code: tell application "Application Name" quit end tell delay 2 tell application "Application Name" activate end tell Then call that script from a shell script using Lingon to make an launchd Agent to run it every 50 minutes. This easy to do. Look here for some more insights: http://...

New cPanel/WHM VPS.... I had installed chkrootkit and added a cron file to /etc/cron.daily to run it. I thought all I had to do was put it in there, but just realized it has not been running. So I did a crontab -l and this is what was in there: Code: 15 5 * * * /scripts/upcp 0 1 * * * /scripts/cpbackup 35 * * * * /usr/bin/test -x /usr/local/cpanel/bin/tail-check && /usr/local/...
