I have an IMac with OS 10.5. I have created a backup program that I want to run every Sunday morning. My crontab reads
0 tab 10 tab * tab * tab 0 tab /User/mariondeckert/BackupProg.app
I have tried everything I can think of but cron will not fire.
If it is 9:45 on Sat. and I change the crontab to
50 tab 9 tab * tab * tab 6 tab /User/mariondeckert/BackupProg.app
Cron fires right on time and the program runs without a hiccup.
The only thing I can see is that the monitor is asleep at 10 am Sun. Surely this should not stop cron from firing. Am I missing something.
