What about creating cron jobs on the users system? Would that be possible through agents.md?

It would be fairly evil to have the first one as a cron job. Would probably take a while for the user to find it.

If it will execute scripts, then why not?

Yes. Yes, good, let the hate flow through you.

We once telnetted into a different iMac (pairing stations) and set it to play a cricket sound every few minutes. Took us a minute to figure that one out.

And don't ask about Bear Force One and the unicorns.

Mr. Lerche actually went in and edited the unicorn "executable" for that one, before going on to merge Merb into Rails.
