Does anyone else have an issue with running shell scripts from alarmed? I tried to schedule a recurring script and it caused the telephony disabled issue.

After several inquiries, I figured that setting alarms also set the RTC alarms to wake the device to ring. Would scheduling commands in such a fashion affect the system? Any insight?

I guess it's possible to break it if it was designed to run alarms and someone schedules a shell script. The script consists of a touch command, a couple of chmods and a call to wget | awk (I am logging external IP to a file).

The script works fine in terminal, but scheduling it causes mayhem. Next reboot, the phone declares that "All telephony functions are disabled" after an unusually long boot sequence in which several things look awkward - typically there is no boot video, the dot animation is long, and there are pauses in which the screen goes blank. Uninstalling alarmed doesn't help, only a reflash or a restore using BackupMenu restores telephony.
