Maintenance Scripts not Running

Thanks for the reply

I understand about scripts not running when computer is asleep. However, after a year they should have run at some point.
I bought another identical iMac for my wife 2 months ago. Her computer runs the scripts fine. They run every day, week, and month. Times shown vary depending on when she gets on it. It does not have to run at night. They should run after the time limit is up and next time computer is awoke from sleep. Her scripts run fine. Mine don't run at all.

As I said, I just ran them in terminal and they worked. They just don't work on their own as they should. They may not be important, but I just want to get them to work as designed.

Something is either missing or corrupt. Either it's not checking when last run or a script to initiate checking and executing is missing. I just don't know what to look for and where.

I really was trying to prevent a reinstall, but will do if I can't figure it out. I'm even more curious as to why it doesn't work. I do have a bootable clone, but it is a copy and will be the same.

The old Anacron was redone to reside in Launch Daemons Folder and not cron.
Ran Permission repair, verified disk, uninstalled all Anacron files following all steps and also finder searching. No remnants found. In fact, I did follow Kappy's instructions last year when I uninstalled it.

Nothing found in /etc/periodic on my computer and neither on my wife's computer that works. Scripts are in >system>library>launch daemons folder. The files I can find (searching periodic) are the same on both computers and are in the same places. Mine doesn't work, the other does.

Here is a shot of what comes up with that terminal advise. It just shows what I have run today manually. I can't get it to give the complete log as you showed.

Glenns-Computer:~ glennleblanc$ ls -al /var/log/*.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 671941 Feb 26 09:11 /var/log/daily.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1472 Feb 26 09:11 /var/log/monthly.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 435 Feb 26 09:11 /var/log/weekly.out

I also check permissions on the files between the 2 computers and both are the same.

I should have mentioned that I have ran ONYX also. But before and after running it, the original scripts still show the first and only time files were executed right after buying the computer. That shows that the logs were never rotated. Only after running the scripts in terminal & ONYS is when I show a log rotation where the scripts have been run.

It seems to be whatever prompts the computer to check to see if they need to be run or the file that acutally executes the process. Either a file is missing or a script was changed or corrupted. Which one???
Looking for a way to check these out might be what's needed. I'm not a terminal user and have little understanding of it. So, be specific if suggestions include terminal usage.

In addition:

After doing some more comparisons, I found one difference in the playlists between the 2 computers.
My finder search shows the file kind as a document. My wife's finder search shows the file as an OOPlist file. I realized that I didn't have OmniOutliner application anymore. I must have deleted it. I don't remember it coming with this computer. Her's does. Does this program come with OSX? Is it necessary to have it? Both files still show as playlist files (.plist extension).

This is the only difference I can find.

I never shut down my Macs, just sleep them. As I said, one computer works fine, mine doesn't run the scripts at all. In over a year, they were never run. My wife's computer runs them just fine. If they are running, the log files aren't showing it. Also as I've stated, I ran them manually with terminal and that worked fine.

I'm just on a mission now to find out why.

Thanks for the reply

Actually putting the "/" in the search bar before any text clears the list. Just putting "periodic" in the search does bring up the folder in the list. I had to click on the folder in the list to open it up. I did find the files that way. It shows up with the subfolders: Daily Weekly Monthly folders and files in those folders as shown above.
That is the same on both computers.

OK. So I ran the terminal command and it does show disabled. How do I fix it and is there anything else we need to check.

OK. I ran the scripts and now all 3 show up as disabled 0.

Does that mean they are now turned on??

Also out of curiosity, I ran that same command to check out my wife's computer which has no problems running them. It came back with the directory does not exist. Strange.

Thanks to all for their input.

Thanks Andy.
You hit it right on. Daily script ran this morning on it own. So, I assume it's fixed. Not sure how it got turned off, but apparently it was something that was migrated from my G5.
