README for desktop-cronish
==========================

`desktop-cronish` is a small utility that runs jobs periodically.
It differs from cron in that you're expected to run it from within
a desktop login session, by opening a terminal and running it from
the command line. 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.
