SD! doesn't seem to run

Sorry to be so slow in responding... This hasn't been a critical issue because they do have an external drive attached, to which Time Machine is doing its thing.

Anyway, I don't have any of the details you asked for (typical user, I know :-)) but wanted to mention that I was wrong about SD! and cron. If I'm logged in and am the active user, SD! fires up like it should, and everything works. If I'm not the active user (but am still logged in), it doesn't work.

I believe it used to be that, so long as I was logged in (even if the system was back to showing the login window), it would work. I'm almost positive that was the case, because that's how the machine lives (I stay logged in, but my kids come and go, and always log themselves out so that the login window is what's showing).
