Default Cron & Aumix
I've been following your thread on Aumix and cron with great interest. I'd love to set up some cronjobs on my IT like the muting and/or the LED disabling during night hours.
Problem: I'm not a Linux or even Unix guru. I've never set up a chron job, never installed except from deb files, never did anything with tar.
2nd Problem: I tried to install cron (tar method), and can't tell if I succeeded or not.
3rd Problem: I tried to install aumix and got an "incompatible application" error message.
Is there some other s/w I need to install first ... like GTK or something? (I don't know what GTK is.)
I don't want to trash the forum with my petty problems, so I thought I'd ask you...
thanks,
DF

So I have created a wiki page on wiki.maemo.org detailing the whole procedure.
A couple of modifications should be made to the detailed procedure...
if you copy to an external memory card, it's probably going to be FAT or FAT32. chmod probably won't do anything.
I suggest that a) it either be temporarily copied to root's home directory and done from there or b) explicitly passed to the interpreter (probably the best choice) as in:
# sh /media/mmc2/cron/INSTALL
I made the change to copy it to the root folder, it seemed like the lowest impact change to make. I also changed it so you unpack on the device instead.
If you disagree, or prefer running it off the card, or whatever, feel free to re-edit.
