  • MacOS Finder -...

    Does your MacOS Finder not show all the files when you go to / ? Hmm. Have you got installed stuff into /opt, and is it not listed? Hmm? Does it drive up the wall? If Yes, then run this :) # defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES Or it might be as your own user. I cannot remember, but it ought to work. $ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES And then you will love the Finder a little more. Merry Christmas!

    Previously, cron jobs used to live in /var/spool/cron, and the world was simple. Much later new folk thought this was too simple, and cron jobs were split up into /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, and /etc/cron.monthly. Overly complicated but with good intentions ( road to hell ). But /var/spool/cron was left for posterity and crontab -e works. A bit later, new folk decided they had a better idea, and moved some of the system cron programmes from cron to systemctl triggers. I quite like it because it is new and pretty and shiny. Now we have three related cron systems: crond -> /var/spool/cron + /etc/cron* systemd timers Where is logrotate? It's called from here: systemctl status logrotate.timers If this enabled, and active, then you are good to go. See what it has been up to with: journalctl -u logrotate.timers But really crond with /var/spool/cron/ was far simpler, and less error prone. Yes, you have to actually be able to write a basic shell script,...
