gcalcron – Use Google Calendar to Execute Tasks via Cron

The script allows you to use Google Calendar as a frontend for cron-like scheduling on your Unix/Linux system. If that system is acting as a home server, you’ve suddenly gained an incredibly powerful administration tool that anyone can use to control and automate their environment. On this page, I talk about the technical aspects of the project, but in this post I talk more about the cool implications when looking at the bigger picture of design and interactive architecture.
