I don't know if someone can help me on this one.
The goal is as follow: I have an older machine, running Wheezy and TDE 13.2
As it's only used to record satellite-TV I never felt the need to update it
and won't do unless necessary.
Now what I would like to do is record something in a week, without leaving the
computer on for all that time. I can let the computer start at the right
time. When starting it loads kaffeine. I've programmed the recording.
My problem is this:
a) Kaffeine is started by a link in .trinity/Autostart. The programs starts OK
but the Recording Schedule is empty. No recording.
b) I close kaffeine and start it again. Now the Recording Schedule is there.
Is there some magical string to add so that Kaffeine autostarts *AND* loads
the Recording schedule? man or --help don't provide anything about recording.

OK, so I redid all my setup and I think I found the "problem": Kaffeine (KDE
4) was also installed (must have done that at some point, although I can't
think why. Old age...).
So the Kaffeine that was started automatically was not the same as the one I
started from the TDE menu (!), which in turn explains why the programmation
seemed to disappear.
Experiment running to check if I got it right this time

I have found that such as .trinity/Autostart and/or cron @boot need
to either loop and test for the network to be up and stable, or just
`sleep` for some short period if a bash script.
