Nah, I'm currently focused on BackupMenu V2
But, there is one thing you can do for me: I need a way to -- as root -- launch an osso-xterm window with a specific shell script in it on startup.
On a desktop, I'd use cron to launch it, and konsole/gnome-terminal in place of osso-xterm.
Any ideas?

script
osso-xterm /usr/bin/top
end script

I haven't tested it, but it looks good to me - Provided the command(in your example, /usr/bin/top, correct?) has root privs.

I am not sure how you plan to apply it but during the installation you could make the file "chown root:root" and "chmod 755" the file that goes in "/usr/sbin/".
i funny note to this.. when i tried if the above worked i accidentally deleted /etc/init.d/rcS.. luckilly i am doing backups of /etc/* too so i just ssh:ed into my computer and downloaded the backup.

Hm.. not sure what you mean, and I guess I wasn't clear enough with what I wanted.
I need to run an arbitrary application/script(it shouldn't matter either way), with root privledges. Mainly because I need to run kernel-config, and that requires root to mess with.
I know what /usr/bin/top is, I was just verifying that that is where the script/application path goes in your example.

I have Alarmed doing this for me... during night at 01.00 i let it run "/usr/sbin/kernel-config load night".
