What do I need to schedule
- Reset data counters, monthly (done via Alarmed)
Profiles
Criteria for scheduling events
Cron-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. There seem to be two viable ways of achieving this, via fcron and Alarmed.
- 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
System event scheduling
Calendar-based scheduling
Location-based scheduling
