Keep in mind that some of cron's duties are done by anacron (or were when I had a hand in the distro), which is laptop-friendly.
Anacron only handles daily/weekly/monthly tasks, though; you do need cron running if you want tasks with sub-day scheduling. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
