Logged In Requirement
From what I've seen here on the forum, you have to be logged in to a user with Super Duper set up to run scheduled jobs.
The setup I planned to use would be to have my machine power on in the middle of the night, run the scheduled copy and shut down. But it is a security risk to have the computer permanently set to login to a user from boot without authentication. Is there no way to run SD while the computer sits on the login screen? Or is there a secure way to do this I'm not thinking of? Thanks |
Another option would be to use a password-protected screen saver. Then, you'd simply put your machine to sleep, rather than turning it off. It'd wake, run the SD! job, all without unlocking the screen...

Thanks for the suggestion; we'll see.

Another option to consider might be Tiger's 'launchd', if you're willing to sacrifice 10.3.9 compatibility. According to the doc, it could run your scheduled jobs without a user logged in.
(Note: I know only a hair above nothing about this stuff, I've only heard about it.) |
It's more complicated than that, actually. The issue isn't so much what we're launching with (though if we were Tiger-and-later only we would use launchd). Rather, we have a UI, and you can't have a UI if you want to run as a daemon.
As I wrote way back when we were doing the design for this stuff, splitting things into a daemon/agent/UI was beyond the scope of the 2.0 release... |
