Perhaps "phone-cron" needs to be written, to take anacron to the level of task flexibility required for modern cell phones. Cron and anacron are crusty old beasts - we need something fresh and sharp.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Anachron can unfortunately run tasks once a day, which you can read at the Drawback. I guess that tasks, with a "remember-funktions" canot really be realized with anachron.<br>
I don't know if there is a timer, which can send an wakeup-interupt, but when it exists the next upcoming task could be searched an the time could be passed to the timer. Does anybody knows of such timer?<br>
If not i think it should be integrated in gta03.<br>
<br>
Greetings Bastian<br>
