Hello, I am wanting to schedule backup and since cron is deprecated, I used launchd. I got launchd to work but I have some questions about it's use.

  1. Can I schedule the task without having to reboot my computer?
  2. Can the script go in LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons? Also, I have seen two different LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folders. One for root (I think) and one for user. Which one should I use?
  3. Once I have a task scheduled and want to change the execute times in the plist, do I need to do anything once I make changes to the plist file?

Thanks in advance for the help.



BTW: I am running OSX 10.8
