    Hi!

    I was thinking in create some tasks on crontab to customize the way my N900 behaves during the day, like:

    Code:
    M,W,F at 07:50 wake up alarm, start 3G + connect to Internet and start mail application. M,W,F at 08:30 start bluetooth and link to my car handsfree. M,W,F at 09:15 stop bluetooth. T at 06:22 wake up alarm. etc...etc.
    Most of us know what we do during the week and would be a good idea to have an application that would allow us to automate these tasks with our N900

    Well I really only wanted to automate the profile setting from general to silent. Built and installed fcron(because it sleeps between events) and set it all up so I actually have that

    For the rest I haven't looked into it really. But generally you should be able to do it with dbus-send(that's how the profile setting works).

    the fact taht you want things tunred on and off at times means that the nokia fails in the battery stakes-

    crontab can schedule things to do at specific times.

    it will be easy enough for you to create a script to set different profiles at different times of the day, assuming you are able to get access to it from the command line, closest command i've seen has been profiled however it does not seem to respond to the --help parameter.
