So, I'm starting to look at doing some hacking on Meego and was wondering if there was (or will be?) some mechanism for running some task at a predefined interval. I get the feeling that an un-optimized port of cron would have a negative impact on power management (given that it tends to wake up every minute, regardless if there is work to do). If this is documented somewhere and I missed it, please tell me to RTFM and I'll happily do so. Thanks.
given the fact that we're fighting applications that wake up 10-40x per second (still), once a minute is a blessing.
I did a quick strace scan on a crond install and didn't see anything shocking, it's actually rather clean - only does reads and stats once a minute, which shouldn't dirty anything.
