Question

Note – I have not delved very deeply into Apple’s iPhone SDK yet.

However, based on another question asked recently, I’m wondering if, since the iPhone is running some stripped-down edition of Mac OS X if it doesn’t have a crontab feature.

If so, how would you access it?

Thanks.

Seems that cron runs by default on the iPhone, you just need to be able to edit the crontab file – either the root one or the user one but not the user one apparently.

There are issues with sleep and cron, but there’s a good discussion at that link.
