here is a link about the cron jobs/scripts http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
I do not really know what they do, only that they exist, I only quickly scanned the article. the article at the above link says they (may) run at 3:15am of course, the underlying OS changed (Sierra to High Sierra), existing anti-virus, or other things may interact differently - especially if you did not update that software with the OS. EX: - where I work they run/use Sophos AV under the OS we were running (10.6 - due to legacy applications), Sophos thinks - maybe rightly so :) - that MS Office is a virus and will not let it run. So we have had to get a different AV package (Intego Virus Barrier) On Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:46:59 +0000, Perkins, Bradley D wrote: > Chip, > > Except for the OS Upgrade nothing changed.
