Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / September 2008SuperDuper, Cron tables, and you
Just curious: Last I used SuperDuper, I found it inserted a tab character between each time element (the * * * * * elements at the beginning) of every entry in my crontab, even if those entries weren't created by crontab. This made editing my crontab a little harder from the command line, which is how I often edit it. I sent an email to the developer of SuperDuper asking that he not do that, and he said he would consider it for a future update. Does anyone happen to know if the developer ever changed his code so that SuperDuper stops rewriting crontab entries that it didn't create?

No, but what about a sed cron job to correct /etc/crontab? ;) -André SignatureMay as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb!

Actually, I don't use SuperDuper schedules anymore anyway.
