The same could be said for linux systems in general, yet cron is almost invaluable in day to day use of a system because it can provide consistency etc to trigger apps at certain times. People don't seem to really want the alarm system as is, they want something closer to cron. The system as is, is convulted and you need to re-run an app on boot just to see if it wants the same alarm triggers... How insane is that? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
