It seems this is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry, I am a newbie to cron for scheduling the task, a quick explanation or some link could help ... thanks in advance!
Yeah same, Would someone be able to explain how to get this running ?
怎么样从edge同步到Safari啊？现在edge用户群也挺大的。直接把脚本里面的Google Chrome改成Microsoft Edge并不行
I'm sure it's safe to assume you both (@gkb21 & @frantortosa) got this figured by now but, but if not or for anyone else who may be interested, here is an example of setting up automated tasks/jobs in macOS & Linux. I hope it helps!
Oh, I had actually given up on this, so I am grateful you provided that link. I will definitely try it out now.
Been looking for this for so long. I think the script can be executed by Automator instead of chron. Can you add the option to import specifically? Like, I want to import only Bookmarks and History.
