Disabled in com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
Hi, 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. I am not sure what this actually means. Could someone explain, please?

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?

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
Hi, sorry I was confused by using some GUI editor for lauchd plist files. Am 29.10.2007 um 08:23 schrieb Kevin Van Vechten:

In fact my file contains: <key>Disabled</key> <false/> I still have the impression that the periodic jobs are not executed - I am talking about not having my machine switched on over night. But I think I might still expect these jobs to be done, when I switch it on... Best, Kilian

Power on? Or wake from sleep? If it is the former, we are aware of that bug, and we hope to (but cannot promise to) fix it in release after Leopard. davez
