Fcron is an implementation of crontab.
It runs "things" on a schedule.
It is most likely in devel repos.
You would need some things to do this, most have it already.
1) Rootsh
2) devel repos enables
3) I would recommend Nano as a text editor installed.
4) Install fcron
5) google fcrontab for info on how to use
6) edit /etc/fcron.conf to change the editor line to be vi or nano when fcrontab -e is evoked, nano would be the easiest. Leafpad may work.
7) Use this line in fcrontab to set the region every 60 min:
# Set Region from 2 to 4
@ 60 echo 4 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/region
There is also a fcrontab option to do it at first boot, but I don't remember it. I'm sure somebody will know it.

Also, I'm not going to add fmtxd into the script yet, so the first hack has to be done before installing this.

Why on EARTH would you need a cronjob to do this?
Change it on boot using an /etc/event.d/ script and be done with it. There's no reason you need to constantly echo the value in.
/etc/event.d/region-swap
start on started hildon-desktop
stop on starting shutdown
console none
service
script
echo 4 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/region
end script
And that's it. If you want it controlled by a cronjob, and only run at boot, simply use @reboot.

I've decided to upload my little fix to the "region" changes here.
You can download it from here.
Update: Sorry found a little bug with the previous version. Now all fixed. Please download again and replace the old one with this.

I was able to install your modifications. Now I can activate a frequency like 80.0 Mhz but if I try to disable the fmtx I get the "unable to use fmtx" message. If I switch back to - let's say - 90.0 Mhz I'm able to disable the transmitter again.
So in short terms:
Enabling works fine
Disabling does not work
(both in the GUI)
Best regards Uwe

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:45.
If something gone wrong in there, there will be no turning back therefore best way to avoid replacing any system files as much as possible. An alternative is there for us to do it but I need some help with tutorial on how to create a simple app plugin.
