	Aug 3 2009	LEE123 $30 bucks for something osx already does for free? I guess if you want the convenience of a no brainer gui, you might pay for something like this. (Version 1.2.1)		0

JERRY KRINOCK I tried Lingon a few months ago, but found that the mean time between Lingon crashes on Mac OS 10.5 was about ten minutes. Also, Lingon would not "load" the command (using launchcntl, if I recall correctly), so your changes would not take effect until you logged out/in. So, if I needed a scheduling utility I'd give this Cronette a try.

Terrible name choice, though, for something which is not supposed to use cron and I presume uses launchd. Should have called it Launchette.

FARDILHA Strange.

I use Lingon all the time under 10.5 and it never crashed on me.
