Subject: Re: Scheduler
the problem I see with this is that my computer is not on 24/7. (Maybe 8/7 but
anyways)
also
Wouldn't that print to a tty? (not a terminal emulator)I have a terminal
emulator on all the time. (yes, even mister know nothing uses the command
line)

Today I actually figured out how to open konqueror to a specific page from an
icon! What it was is my USB drive doesn't seem to be listing under removable
drives nor is it listing under hotplug so I made my own! I didn't even need
to ask anyone. I am so excited..... I cheated though. I had to copy the
contents of another icon but I DID figure out what goes behind 'EXEC'.
(=sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1; konqueror file:/mnt/sda1)

I'm so smart! Who wants to hire me?
