- Mac users who schedule shell commands
- Worth noticing
- Jobs are launchd agents in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and continue on schedule even when Sundial is closed.
Field notes
Each job is represented by a launchd agent under ~/Library/LaunchAgents, and the page says scheduled work continues when the app is closed. Users can choose a working directory and run commands through zsh; the app keeps output, exit status, and duration for 30 days, with searchable logs and live output for running jobs.
