Mac OS X & cron not starting
Why Apple decided to not start cron by default… I don’t know. They did create a launchd startupitem, however, it’s got a funky twist. It looks to see if the cron tabs have been touched, then decides to run cron… after a reboot.
So, to overcome this lameness, simply open your terminal.app and type:
sudo crontab -e
Using your vi skills, add a # to the file, save and quit.
Reboot and do a ps aux | grep cron to see it running.
