QUOTE Script BC GlossaryAlso known as: Batch File, shell script Computer code that is contained in a file and can be directly executed to run a sequence of commands on the computer as if it was a program. The difference between this and a binary executable is that it does not have to be compiled in order to execute it. Which means they automate repetitive tasks.

Are you asking about the maintenance scripts that Mac OS X automatically runs during the night? They will only run when the Mac is on during the time the scripts are supposed to run.

Ah that makes sense~I'd ditched OnyX because it wasn't Leopard compatible (though i see there is a beta) so I found Cocktail~so now I'm back to manually running scripts in case they get missed. "Scripts" is an interesting term for these maintenance schedules.
And thanks for the links |
