Ok, I stated in the subject field that I was ranting. I'm simply pointing out, that on a modern desktop machine, it going asleep for an hour is something that in my mind has the word "oobs" written all over it. A cron job, is something that is to be done at lowest possible priority, imo.
Definitely not. Why should something that's being done regularly be low priority? I'd like my nightly backups to be over as fast as possible for instance. As a normal user I also have one or two things that are started with @reboot in my crontab - they too should have normal priority. I understand your ranting, I do so myself occasionally, but some of what you complain about is easily taken care by configuring your system as you want it. The YaST installer cannot guess your usage pattern, nor what you intend to use the machine for, so SUSE has probably chosen what they consider a reasonable compromise. /Per Jessen, Zürich
