Any chance of knowing what these 2 do & getting the code?

* * * * * perl /Volumes/Users/Admin/bin/checkClassic.plx
#* */2 * * * /Volumes/Users/Admin/bin/classicerrormail.sh

I need:

30 4 * * 7 /Volumes/Users/Admin/bin/restartClassic.sh

I’m running a web app in it, and want to either check for a Classic freeze or check for a port 80 non-response prior to an automated Classic restart.

Hi, I found your interesting article about Crontab on OS X (http://www.bradrice.com/wposx/?p=51). There you have listed in your example a script “relaunchDistiller.scpt”.

I’m having trouble using Distiller running for more than a few days, so I have to restart Distiller manually.
Could you please send me your relaunch-script?

(Trying in recording the job via script-editor doesn’t succeed, opening and quitting of applications in the finder doesn’t get recorded.)

Thanks, Rolf from Germany.
