Hey! I was actually thinking on a cron-like flexibility in setting recurring alarms in ffalarms, up to for example "Second Monday each month". But not for using cron yet -- it depends wheter cron will nicely fit the job. One could also extend atd/atd-over-fso to support cron-like recurring jobs in /var/spool/at, instead of just timestamps. But I will have to look closer in to that when deciding how to best implement recurring alarms in ffalarms. > > What's with batch(1) btw? > > /jOERG _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
