| Also, if one is curious, you can determine "exactly when your maintenance scripts were last run...
You can execute a Terminal command to quickly check the date and time stamps of the log files associated with each maintenance script. This indicates when the scripts' own logs were last updated, and hence when the scripts were last executed by the following...
Launch Terminal, in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
At the Terminal prompt, type the following, exactly as written:
ls -al /var/log/*.out
Press Return.
You will see output similar to the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 467984 8 May 10:40 /var/log/daily.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1258 8 May 10:43 /var/log/monthly.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 198378 8 May 10:43 /var/log/weekly.out
In this example, the scripts last ran on 8 May of the current year, between 10:40 and 10:43 local time. The date and time stamps in the example are the result of running the scripts manually using Terminal. If the scripts were run automatically on their default schedule, their date stamps would vary and their time stamps would indicate executions between 03:15 and 05:30 hours.
