Run Mac-CLI In The Background (Hourly, Daily, Weekly)

slavakurilyak opened this issue 5 years ago · 2 comments

As a developer, I want to run mac-cli hourly, so that I don't have to manually run $ mac update every time I start my macOS.

I tried two methods, but both didn't work.

Method 1 (Didn't Work)

$ crontab -e
@hourly echo "password" | sudo -S mac update

Method 2 (Didn't Work)

$ crontab -e
@hourly sudo -S <<< "password" mac update

Please advise.
