Have you considered using cron instead? It does not have a system
preferences panel but it runs programs according to a user defined
schedule and is available by default.
man cron

I am working on a system preference pane and i
want to
have a timer running in it so i can update things
at
boot and keep updating them to shutdown. The issue
is
my timer stops working as soon as you quit System
Preferences and dosnt load at boot? I was
wondering if
i am using the wrong kind of timer for this or if
i
just wasnt coding it right. If someone could give
me
some examples or point me in the right direction
it
would really help me out. Thanks in advance.
Why would the timer be running when the system
preference pane is not
loaded?
System Preferences pane are only loaded and running
when System
Preferences.app is running and they have been shown
at least once.
What you're looking for is probably a system daemon
that you would
launch with a startup script or the bootstrap thing
on Mac OS X 10.3.
