The sample configuration file in the wiki has been updated with a very important function and whoever did already set fcron up should re-configure it (the difference is that in the new sample config GPRS counter reset is also performed on the next boot if the phone was off at 00:00 or whenever did you set it up).

Can you provide a sample if I wanted to:
- turn off internet (but keep phone) at 01:00 and turn back on at 07:00 (thus allowing any IM's to be received)
I couldnt figure out how to reconnect, I tried:
dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:false
dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.connect boolean:true
Thanks!

0 1 * * * /disconnect/script
0 7 * * * /connect/script
disconnect script is in the fcron wiki (but I think you got it right)
connect script is wrong, because you have to specify what should phone connect to, you can't just type a command connect and expect that phone will know to which connection
the info you need is to be found: http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#...ved_connection
also check out Phone control wiki page extensively, because it also contains dbus calls to control IM...

On the wiki page it says that fcron sleeps between events, does that imply that it doesn't affect the battery life at all?

That's right, there is no difference in battery times. I definitely trust fcron more than alarm daemon and a few other Nokia daemons...

Hi,
I set up fcron according to instructions. Everything looks ok, but nothing happens..
No errors either..
according to ps, fcron seems to be running and fcrontab -e works
I tried to run dbus-send (phone to silent/general mode) scripts manually with run-standalone.sh. Also...nothing happens.
What might be wrong?

Then you just need to run a script to switch your profile at night and in the morning.

You can use this simple yet powerful tool to schedule just about anything at anytime. You can schedule:
- profiles
- backup scripts
- resetting the GPRS counter every month
- disconnection and connection of mobile network or internet
- 3G/2G/Dual radio modes
- NTP update
- email notify/refresh
- brightness level
- locking
- rebooting
- your own scripts
- ...
The wiki entry covers why is using fcron the best way for scheduling events, installation and configuration guide and some scripts.
