[maemo-developers] Preferred way to set timed events in fremantle?

[From: Jonathan Blake]

Hi all,

So I'm wondering what the preferred way to set up a timed event (like
a cronjob) in fremantle is? I've seen various mentions of alarm and
cron, etc, but I'm not sure what to use. I'd like to be able to modify
these events too, such as changing the time period in which they
happen.

What would be the best and easiest, and most power efficient way of doing this?

thanks all,
Jonathan
