Hi,
Here is the first version of a crontab for our Nokia N... (I don't
know on which model alarmd is). I think it can parse all crontab
input however I expect you to let me know if there is a problem.
Of course, don't complain if it destroys all you Nokia, job and life,
I tried it but you never can be sure with this things!
You should first run it as root to init the directory and files :
crontab init
Then as a user you can do crontab -e or crontab -l as usual.
Olivier.
