Does Morph OS have the equivilent of scheduled taks or crontab?
Thanks

I use CyberCron 1.5 which works fine with MorphOS but you need to start it via user-startup, don't put it into WBStartup it seems to make problems when there.

There's also WaitX included with MorphOS for scripting timed events.

Thanks. I will be trying Cybercron.
I will give WaitX a shot too.

Does waitx run in the background or does it have to have its own script?
I'd like to put it in user-startup.

It's a CLI command, so it would be more traditional to create a simple script for each application/command you wanted to run, specifying either the interval, or the date/time as required (From CLI type 'WaitX ?' to get the command template) and put them in WBStartup folder (set the script flag, give them an icon, set default tool as c:iconx, and tooltype DONOTWAIT).

You could merge each command line into user-startup, although you may need to "run >NIL: waitX foo" as I'm not sure if WaitX detaches from the command line or not.

Cybercron works from WBStartup.
I am using a Project-Icon.

I don't need a cli window open all the time so I will play around with it.
Looks like I need:

run >NIL: waitx MIN=5 delete blah blah blah

Just a note: I am running ml donkey to download torrents and it works quite well, getting 500k per sec, but it likes to seed them afterwards so I want to clean out the 'seeded' folder every five minutes or so so that it doesn't.
