Ubuntu :: Calendar / Planner And Schedule Program?
Jan 24, 2011I was wondering if there was some calendar/planner/schedule program for Ubuntu so that I could input all my class HW/lecture/exam schedules for the semester and be able to keep track of whats due and whats going on? I know I could use Gmail's calendar, but I don't know if I will always have internet and I feel like a stand-alone program would be better.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSUSE :: Schedule Hibernate And Program Start?
Oct 17, 2010I'm trying to make an old Dell Latitude D505 running OpenSuse 11.3 LXDE download torrents at night between 2 and 6 AM (when I have free bandwidth), but I'm failing at a couple very basic things. The solution is probably very simple, but I can't find it.First: How can I schedule Transmission to start every day at 2AM? I tried with Crontab (using VCron), but I think I'm using the wrong command. When I type "transmission" in a terminal it launches transmission, but when I make a crontab entry with "transmission", nothing happens. Do I need to type the full path to the transmission executable? If so, how can I find that? Or is the problem more likely to have something to do with permissions?Second: Is it possible to schedule hibernation? If so, what command should I use?

Mar 2, 2010I want to schedule a Java program to run at a certain time, which will open a GUI progress monitor while it runs, and then terminate when it's done. I can execute it fine from the command line, but I it doesn't seem to work when I schedule it with crontab. In fact, I can't make any gui by scheduling it, not even something like gedit or firefox.
I know it's pretty rare that someone would want to do this, but is there any way to schedule a GUI app?

Ubuntu :: Strategy To Schedule Rsnapshot If Pc Is Not Always On?
Jun 20, 2010I just did my first rsnapshot backup of my /home/ to an external harddisk. When I am not at my computer for a couple of hours, I always shut it down. Therefore, there are no predictable hours of the day where I know that my computer is running. So, how should I schedule/crontab my rotating rsnapshot backups?
Is anyone using rsnapshot in combination with a schedule which is not based on exact times but rather on the time the computer is running?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Root Cronjob Not Working On Schedule
Jun 27, 2011I have added "@daily shutdown -r now" to my root crontab (sudo crontab -e) but it does not seem to ever run. When I look at the chron log using webmin I can see that it tried to run and there was no error. Also when I run it manually using webmin the system reboots fine. I also tried using reboot -f in the crontab instead and that also worked when manually run but not on schedule. The reason I know it didn't run is on webmin it shows the system uptime. This is the output of the chron log:
