how do i change the time maintenance scripts run?

[scruffy]

It is correct that with 10.4 the scripts run automatically if the computer was asleep at the time the script was scheduled for. However, if it was turned off entirely at the time, it will still need to be run manually, or with third party software.

So, things behave according to the documentation (sort of - they may still not run more than once per boot no matter what).

Whether that means that the software runs "correctly", or just that the documentation correctly describes the bugs in the software, is a question of interpretation.

Having butted into this thread earlier, I have been out of internet range for a few weeks and have just returned to the world of the connected.

Thanks again to everyone for all their help and constructive comments. It is very much appreciated.

My Utility Mac HelpMate does just this. You can even have a translucent notificaiton appear in the Finder when the tasks run.

i want to change what time the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance scripts run. basically, i want them to run when my computer is more likely to be awake. is this possible?

i have onyx and have been manually running the maintenance scripts, but if possible, i would prefer not to have to mess around with onyx every day.

any help would be much appreciated!
