Hi, I configured /etc/defaults/periodic.conf to email the outputs of the periodic stuff to me. The only changes I made were to add my user name to the daily_output variables. Sometimes, but not always, I get 2 daily run outputs! I keep msgs for a month only, and on 4/6, 4/7, and today, I got 2 msgs. 1 at 3:14 AM, which is too early, and the other at the regularly scheduled time of 3:15 AM. /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.periodic-daily.plist looks fine, scheduled to fire @ 3:15 AM. My personal crontab has no reference to any of the periodics. Can anyone help resolve this strange behavior? Thanks, Charles http://bubbabbq.homeunix.net
