SYNOPSIS
comiccron -f cronfile
USAGE
This will act on any cronfile it is pointed at. For it to run the com-
mand, the last or next time it will be will have to be within a minute
and 15 seconds. For most usages, you will want to have the hour and
minute set to *. This allows a user to do something how ever many times
they want any time during the period it is active.
After running through every entry in the crontab, it then exits.
You need to use the full path for specifying the command.
WHY NOT CRON
You can have cron open opera or the like on a specific display by
either switch or enviromental options, but it will always open it. This
allows you to open it any time along the point it is active.
EXAMPLES
Opens up http://somethingpositive.net in opera in a newtab on display
localhost:0.1 any day of the week.
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/opera -display localhost:0.1 -newpage http://somethingpositive.net
Open up http://freefall.purrsia.com in opera in a newtab on display
:0.1 on Mon, Tue, and Fri.
* * * * 1,3,5 /usr/local/bin/opera -display :0.1 -newpage http://freefall.purrsia.com
