Got a problem. Just installed Drupal on an OSX Leopard server and of course, I need to configure cron jobs on it. Problem is Leopard has depreciated cron, so I'm wondering if we could use Poormanscron instead?

See http://drupal.org/node/236947 for how to set up launchd as a cron replacement. Poormanscron is probably fine for small or test sites (especially if you don't need cron running while you're not working on it) but my guess is that if you're using Leopard Server then you probably want to use cron.php instead.
