Hi,
I'm trying to get launchd to execute my bittorrent client at 0300 and shut it down again at 0700. To this end, I've used the program Lingo (a GUI frontend for launchd scripts). I'm using the program Aurora to wake the computer up from sleep to allow execution of the script, and a shell script to kill the application. The problem is that the launch seems rather unstable - It worked once, but it hasn't worked for two out of three nights. Furthermore, once it executed the script at 14:19 in the day without being asked??? When I test the script it works fine. When I set the execution time to the next couple of minutes it works fine. Why then, wont it work at nighttime?? It wont work if I change the system clock to 0259 and wait for it to execute.
Has anyone experienced problems with this, and is there some kind of solution? Any help would be appriciated!
