I just went to look at my crontab again. Some highlights (lowlights?):
- Turning lights on/off around the house, because I found cron to be a more reliable scheduling agent that the one built-into my Wave software when I first set it up.
- Testing network performance (ping times to various locations)
- Fetching a mail account and processing the messages for an automation I have setup for some things.
- Updating online weather services with data from my weather station.
