*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crontab
Can i use this to automatically download via Bittornado client. I tried using it for updating automatically at 2:00 am but it didn't work. Just didnt start. This is what "crontab -l" said:
0 2 * * * aptitude -y update && aptitude -y upgrade && aptitude -y dist-upgrade && aptitude -y autoclean >/dev/null 2>&1 # update, /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application.png

What could be the prob? And please tell me about using it for bittornado. You know this will be really useful for dataone users.
*Hope this is the right section for this*

there is a better way Paaji,u can get a gui tool for this in GNOME.
try "sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule"

Is there any gui for KDE like gnome-schedule?

I guess kcron should do for KDE.

Thanks. I searched for kcron in Mandriva repo and found drakcronat - Mandriva frontend tool to Cron and At.

Yeah drakcronat is there for mandriva and kcron isn't there in it's repos.
