No Crontab For Mac
Greetings
I am new at this so excuse any ignorant mistakes I might be making.
I have a server (MM X.4.9) that I would like to restart every day in order to make sure no programmes are hanging etc. If a program is hanging is should force quit it. Using terminal I have entered the following command:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Entered password
Than I entered using tab between each sequence:
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
This was a test run and it did not reboot.
Entering
cat /etc/crontab
I got:
# The periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs
# See /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
#
# minute hour mday month wday who command
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

Running scripts on your computer is great. Running them automatically is even greater. If you are on a Mac (or Linux), you can use our good friend crontab, which is a scheduling tool that will run jobs (scripts) at regular intervals. You add a job to crontab by editing the job list. A job is specified in the following format (first line). In this Linux/Mac terminal tutorial, we will be learning about cron jobs and how to schedule commands with crontab. The will allow you to run commands on a r. I'm trying to automate a python job using crontab in mac. It's not running on the cron however it's working when run manually & have given full permission to the scripts. As a test, did a echo command which is working as expected. In my crontab I have: @reboot macchanger -r eth0 (changed on my root user). But the MAC address is not changing when I reboot. Macchanger -r eth0 works fine in the terminal.
