For some time now I have had SuperDuper! set up so that each night two
smart
backup runs will occur, one at 2:00 A.M. and one at 5:00 A.M. My Energy
Saver
preferences are set so that the computer never sleeps and the screen will
sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity.
When SuperDuper! completes a backup a Growl notification appears on my
desktop. On Monday morning I noticed that the notifications hadn't
appeared
and a check showed that the SuperDuper! runs had not occurred. Without my
doing anything the Tuesday runs completed. Today there were no
notifications
and the Wednesday runs, as had the Monday runs, had not happened.
I rescheduled the two runs for 8:00 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. and they ran as
scheduled, the 8:30 run underway as I write this.
I am told by Dave Nanian of ****rt-Pocket that the problem is not with
SuperDuper! but is an indication that cron was not running properlyl
So, the question is, why is cron not running and what can I do to ensure
that
it will run?
I am running OS 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro. Volume and Permission
verification
via Disk Utility re****ts no problems.
