I have a simple cron job:

MAILTO=“”
0 9 * * * /path/to/job

My issue with this job being that it won’t run if my Mac isn’t up and running (sleep mode). I read launchd/launchctl may be what I’m looking for. The manual is long and intimidating and the specifications seem complex. What is the simplest way to transform this cron job into something that’ll run even when my Mac is off?

Run when it's powered off? There is nothing. – Marc Wilson May 08 '23 at 13:36
