After reading all this information and downloading Cronix what I'm wondering
is do any of these applications run scripts when you are logged out? I
haven't seen anything that would say yes or no. I have a script that sends
a reminder email to my students to turn in their work hours and I'd like
that to run even if I'm logged out.
