Except disabling Time Machine no further system files and preferences will be touched by TimeMachineScheduler. ![]() As the agent is located in the main library, the administrator password is required for all (writing) operations. MSDOS remembers commands too (it has done for decades) but the list of commands is lost each time one re-boots.TimeMachineScheduler disables the automatic backup function of Time Machine and installs its own launchd agent. Of course, if you issue lots of commands from the Terminal, you will have to scroll up through many commands to find the sysctl command again so this solution is not for everybody. So you could change the 0 to a 1, then hit Enter to turn the throttling back on again).įor some users this will be simple, but power-users might prefer to write a script to do this. (And any command in the list can be edited prior to executing them again. So the next time you boot your Mac, you just need to open Terminal, and hit the Up arrow once or twice until the sysctl command re-appears, then hit Enter to execute it again. If you enter any commands and then hit the UP arrow, the last commands you entered will re-appear at the command prompt, so you can use the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll back through them and just hit Enter to re-execute any of the commands as they appear at the Command Prompt. They are logged to a file, and the operating system remembers them (as per Unix and Linux standards). The Terminal application remembers the history of commands that you execute.

This command prevents Time Machine’s backup process assuming a low CPU priority, allowing backups to complete insanely quickly. Open a Terminal window, which you’ll find in the Utilities folder within the Applications list, and paste in the following, typing your login password when prompted: sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0 I’ve had to wait before I put my MacBook Pro to sleep sometimes while a backup finishes and, of course, the initial backup can literally take days.
