Hence my preference to using cron. Although since there's no cron, alarmd will do.
If you're waiting for them to go online, why cron/alarmd? There's a DBus signal you can listen for when the tablet actually goes online. No random firing of scripts needed.

Really, though, isn't somebody already working on something like this? Why not throw in with them?

Oh, they are? Well heck. If they're already doing this, that'll save me some work. :) Do you by chance know which project that would be?

Not offhand, but I can find it when I have some more time later tonight.

There is a shell script which also does this. Use the search to find it. Might be on ItT wiki too.

Cool. The phonehome sounds like what I'm after. Any idea on when this project might go live? AKA, release a beta? I noticed it's still in alpha level development. :(

Best suggestion: ask the developers (and, as allnameswereout says, try it ;-))
