So its a good idea to know how to use its replacement under Mac OS. Welcome to &lt;code&gt;Launchd&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will be a short guide on how to use launchd in a simple form to replace a crontab job. In my case I am automating the backup of my Plex server.
You can see my previous article &lt;a href="https://bas-man.dev/post/plex-macos-backup/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Launchd has a lot of other features. I will not look at them here.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
