# `launchd` & `cron`
Currently all these scheduled jobs run on an up-to-date MacOS system. This means that `launchd` is the preffered method of scheduling jobs.
Sadly, `launchd` plist files exist at `~/Library/LaunchAgents/` which means if I sync these to this repository, they will polute standard linux home folders. (By default MacOS hides `~/Library`)
Eventually - I do plan on migrating my primary server to a linux-based system. But that costs money and the Mac it's currently running on was free.
## Backup launchd configuaration
```sh
launchctl remove launchd.restic # If it's already running
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/launchd.restic.plist
launchctl list | grep restic
```
```plist
