Re: [opensuse] How to schedule an application to run and close
Greetings Dan. Søndag 11 februar 2007 07:36 kvad Dan: Does anyone know of a scheduling utility that will run a shortcut or an application at a specified time and then shut it down at a specified time? I think cron or at. In both cases you would need two entries for the scheduling utility -- one starting the program at the specified time, and one stopping the program at an other specified time.

Looks like you are trying to start it when it's already running. In SUSE it runs by default. All you have to do is edit your crontab, the changes will get picked up automatically Makes sense. Do you know if there is a gui to manage the cron jobs? Dan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you run KDE, you can install the kdeadmin3 package, then you will get under system-service configuration an option called kcron, which will allow you to schedule applications through a GUI -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
