OSStatus error -50 in Automator

Actually, I came up with a work around. I created an App with a shell script that runs the “networkquality” command and writes it to a file. The output is not as utilitarian as a spreadsheet but it does provide the network data I’m looking for.

I have a recurring calendar event set up to execute the app periodically throughout the day since there is no hourly recurring schedule option( only day, week, month, year). Less than ideal and a maintenance nightmare.

What I would love me to do is schedule this command using Terminal. I currently use a scheduled restart command

”sudo pmset repeat restart S 01:00:00” to restart the z Mac every Sat AM and would like to do something similar for the “NetworkQuality.app” I created in Automator. I think this might use launchd but I’m no programmer.

here’s an example of the report produced by the app.

cd /Users/Scott/Desktop
