CronEdit is used to edit the somewhat cryptic crontab.txt file that is used by xBar. This allows you to set up recurring tasks. The most popular use for this is for an alarm clock, but let your imagination run wild.
How to Install
To use this program you must first have installed xbar. You can find out more at http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar%202
As of this version of CronEdit, xbar must be installed in one of the following directories in this order, whichever is found first):
\Storage\Program Files\xbar3
\Program Files\xbar3
\Storage Card\Program Files\xbar3
\Storage Card\Program Files\xBar 3
\Mounted Volume\Program Files\xBar3
\Storage\Program Files\xbar2
\Program Files\xbar2
\Storage Card\Program Files\xbar2
\Storage Card\Program Files\xBar 2
\Mounted Volume\Program Files\xBar2
\Storage\My Documents
\My Documents
\
Once xbar is installed, just copy CronEdit.exe to a directory of your choice on your mobile, I suggest \Storage\Program Files\CronEdit (for WM2003), or\Program Files\CronEdit (for WM5.0).
Set up a shortcut if you like. That's it!
How to Use
Main Screen...
CronEdit starts with a list of your current scheduled tasks. To create a new task, push soft menu 1, "Add Task". To edit an existing task, select it and click the action button or push "Options", "Edit Task". Either one of these options will take you to the edit screen.
If you have made any changes, push "Options", "Save Tasks". This will save the crontab.txt file and (re)start xbar.
Edit Screen...
You can set up hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly tasks. To change the program or file that is opened, you may either type it in the text box, or browse your phone by clicking "Options", "Change Task".
Push "OK" to save the changes or "Options", "Cancel" to revert.
That's it!
