Is there a way to make the cron run (and call my script) 24/7? Another question please. I have the crontab calling a small php script, which wget's a page on my server with latitude and longitude.

So, here is my question: The cron only seems to work when I am actively using my Pre. Is there a way to make the cron run (and call my script) 24/7?

I am trying to find an automatic Search and Rescue tool for use in small private airplanes. I have checked with the FCC (and FAA) and cell phones are legal on General Aviation airplanes as long as they avoid the 800 MHz frequency range. Also, Radar coverage for small airplanes just doesn't do the trick so a periodic SMS message with GPS info would be steller. Please contact me if you can. I'm willing to travel or whatever to get this to work.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Victor Nazarian <a href="mailto:victor.nazarian@auatac.com" rel="nofollow">victor.nazarian@auatac.com</a> Hi, I would very much like to speak with whoever got the Palm Pre to automatically send GPS coordinates via SMS.

I think the bit.ly reference is simply twitter changing the long url to a shorter one that doesn't exceed the twitter 160 char length. Bit.ly is just like the <a href="http://tinyurl.com" rel="nofollow">tinyurl.com</a> service. Unfortunately it appears that Twitter thinks the URL ends at the comma in the GPS coords and doesn't encode the entire URL, so it ends up broken. I tried encoding the commas using the hex %2C but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's just me not knowing enough about URL encoding or Twitter just being flawed in it's URL shortening. I suspect it's just me not knowing how to do it. I was getting something quite similar.
