I guess you replace “ls” in the command box with something else, but what ? How do you run libreoffice-calc with a particular file ?

Further, to my post above. ‘Transmission 1.93′ that I was talking about, already has a scheduler built in. Go to Edit->Preferences-> Speed Tab. Select the start/end time and days.

Have fun.

Great! ‘Schedule 2.1.1′ works very well for me. In ‘Ubuntu 10.04′ I use ‘Transmission 1.93′ to download torrents at certain preset time.

To start the command is:”transmission”
and to stop the command is:”killall transmission”
(NOTE: select X application in both the cases or else it wont work.)

Just installed and it does not work correctly.

Unable to modify the task properties once the task is created.

Just installed it. When I tried to launch from System Tools menu it spun its gears for a bit then stopped. Ran it from terminal and got the following error message:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character ‘\xc2′ in file /usr/share/gnome-schedule/crontab.py on line 99, but no encoding declared;

Thanks for the article! Just a small correction: ‘sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule’ in lowercase, not Gnome-schedule.
