You can run kcron as a regular user also. That's how I wake up in the morning with a cron job to play a song at 7 AM except on my two days off. But I have to make sure the box is logged in as me overnight, or (again I'm guessing here, I'm no expert) it won't go off.
As long as your computer is on, it will run the program. Since it is 'your' cron, it will run with your permissions, whether you are logged in or not. Using your Linux box as an alarm clock, great idea. Just make sure the program you run has all it needs to run, i.e. not graphical unless you are logged in to X, etc. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
