"scheduled tasks" - what's the OSX equivalent Possible Duplicate:
  OSX: Is there a built-in scheduler program?  




I'm a "born again OSX user", coming from 20 years of Windows ;-)

I'd like to run a batch file that does maintenance for me - backup, some other stuff every night at a given time. On windows you have something called "Scheduled Tasks" what allows you to handle that. Couldn't find something equivalent on OSX. Is it not implemented on the GUI Level and you have to go to command line for that? something like "cron jobs" on linux?
They are called cron jobs in Unix-like systems. From the terminal man cron and man crontab.
