question about using cron
 
Hey guys. I want to put my N800 into s2ram mode during the night but I want to use the alarm in the morning ( and the alarm doesn't work in this case ). So I have to use cron.Where can I install it from ?? and what do I have to do after I install it. Can somebody give me a sample command that I have to write in Xterm ( let's say I want the alarm to wake me up at 8:30 in the morning) ?

Cron is pretty simple you can install it from Dayless (search for it there).

Then you just open the crontab with crontab -e, add your commands as per the docs (google cron or crontab).

Reboot and you should be good to go.
