MacAT - The leading automated task scheduling application for Macintosh server administrators updated to 6.4.

MacAT is a "cron" task scheduling application for Macintosh server administrators. It is a PowerPC application that allows more than 42 of the most common MacOS tasks to be run daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly without user intervention.

New MacAT v6.4 features:

  • Fixed Year bug with "Once" Tasks
  • Stopped Memory leak when resizing listbox columns
  • New files offer ".mat" extension is save dialog box
  • Implemented "Mount AppleShare IP" task under carbon
  • Reinstalled FolderCopy3.4 XCMD by Rinaldi (on PPC systems) as the REALbasic .CopyFileTo method appears to be fragile with deeply nested folders. On Carbon systems the XCMD copy folder mechanism is not
    available (See Prefs Window)
  • Added extra check to recursive FolderCopy to ensure that the destination folder is writeable before a copy takes place
  • The total time taken to copy the folder is now recorded in the logs
  • Various minor bug fixes
