munki capabilities

[Mario Felix]

I have been using munki for a while, now and was wondering if munki has an option to run something on a daily, weekly or monthly basis?

I don't believe there's any built-in functionality, but you could probably use your own breadcrumb (say, in a custom plist pref) to have the installcheck_script also check for the last time it was run and then the postinstall_script say when it was last run.

Munki is not made to run arbitrary things on a cadence, but Outset might be exactly what you are looking for: https://github.com/macadmins/outset.

Just to add on to the other good responses:

Munki is a software management tool. It is designed to manage software installs and removals. It’s not really a generic automation tool that runs “tasks” on any sort of basis.
