Lingon - Use a GUI to create recurring events
Authored by: mm2270 on Mon, Apr 21 2008 at 9:03AM PDT

I love Lingon. It's helped me make a few simple recurring processes on our systems that just couldn't be done using cron. And like Rob, I couldn't understand how to make the necessary xml file for a launchd process.

The only thing I don't understand is why in the hint it says "Lingon is a GUI interface (10.5 only)" I know for a fact I've used Lingon on 10.4. It may be that the newest version is Leopard only, but it's still possible to locate the older Tiger compatible version I believe. It should be noted in this hint that if you're still using Tiger, you're not out luck with using Lingon.
