OS X is running very well on my AppleTV but not without hiccups. the biggest one is that the time doesn't update properly. luckily enough its a perfectly even ratio 2 seconds to the AppleTV is 3 seconds to everyone else. So I can use it for timed events if I take this into account. However, I would like to update the time once a day at midnight (8pm on the appletv).
I found Lingon, which is an excellent interface for launchd, a tool for timed and triggered events. http://lingon.sourceforge.net/ I can run scripts every 40 seconds which i can't do with cron.
Does anyone know the shell command to run ntpudate?
also, i'd like the machine to reset itself if it loses connection with the camera. Does anyone know of a way to do this? is there a command line app that reports on connected devices?
