What do I need to schedule
Time-based scheduling
Certain actions need to be scheduled according to time of day, week or month, i.e. as per the scheduling behaviour of the Unix cron daemon.
- Reset GPRS data counters at 0000 on first of each month
- Automated backup of phone to PC
- Update e-mail etc. when at home on WiFi to minimise mobile updates
There seem to be two viable ways of achieving this, via fcron and Alarmed and there may be a case for using both.
