I have seen a lot of talk about using launchd to run the periodic jobs. However, I could not find a comment about the Disabled flag. It seems that in the com.apple.periodic-daily.plist the Disabled flag is true by default.

com.apple.periodic-daily.plist does not contain the Disabled key on my Leopard system. Which system (`sw_vers -buildVersion`) are you seeing this on?

I am not sure what this actually means. Could someone explain, please?

If a property list contains the Disabled key with a value of true, then launchctl(1) will not load the job at boot (and the job's label will not be listed in `sudo launchctl list`). - Kevin
