I really wouldn't say 'strongly discouraged'. I'd say "this is a newer, modern, shinier replacement that has some advantages". I'm aware of that... but, given that it would require rewriting things that are working, it seems an unnecessary change at present.

Honestly, all you had to do regarding the cron job was contact me at support, rather than spend 'hours' tracking it down. I could have helped.

I really think you're making a mistake recreating everything as launchd jobs because you had, for whatever reason, an entry in cron that was abandoned. I can't tell you how many people end up with bogus launchd jobs littering their system after they've deleted an application that installed one. You've learned how to manage a cron job... all you're doing, at this point, is moving into an area where I can't support you, and you may cause problems with future updates.

Isn't it best to retain what's working and not manually rewrite it for no gain?
