Unable to run on crobtab bash script #103

Closed martinorob closed 4 years ago

martinorob commented 4 years ago

Hi, I’m having issues on running cliclick trough a bash script on crontab. The only way is to call it with osascript calling with terminal

osascript “tell application terminal to launch click.sh”

If i put click.sh on crontab it doesn’t works.

I have cliclick and click.sh and crontab and bash on permission allowed on control panel of Catalina.

May someone help me? Thanks

Some tasks can simply not be accomplished using crontab. (Other example: reading items from the keychain using security.)

You could try using a Launch Agent – which simply means writing a PList (XML) file. You should be able to find examples and documentation on the web.

Thanks @BlueM but i think that there is no way to run launch agent every 4 hour (like crontab)

Wrong. https://www.splinter.com.au/using-launchd-to-run-a-script-every-5-mins-on/

I’ll give it a try

Works like a charm. I’ve used this to create a plist like a cron job with this http://launched.zerowidth.com/plists

Thanks @BlueM for the hint

I have a sh containing cliclick that runs in the crontab of Sierra, but does not work in the crontab of Big Sur.
