This allows it to have access to things like +SSH agents, which cronjobs do not have. + +As an example, I use it to run offlineimap, with offlinemap +configured to get the IMAP password from the GNOME Keyring. + +Legalese +-------- + +Copyright 2013 Lars Wirzenius + +This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
