The cron daemon should be launched at a runlevel preceding anything windowing related, this is the default in all linux distros. So you shouldn't have to log to anything for it to be running.
Also, if you have sshd running, which decent OS will have, then you can automatically take over the computer remotely.
I'm sure this is easily applicable to OSX.
- nickb 19y agoThe point is that you want to give a reason to a thief to connect your laptop to the net. If a thief cannot log in and cannot even use a browser, what are the chances that he'll connect it to the net? Zero?! You want to give the thief something so they connect your machine to the internet for longer periods of time... and they can't compromise your user account and your files.

- jgrahamc 19y agoOne nice way to do this on a Mac is to leave the Guest account available. Even though the user cannot get into your account because of your uber-strong password and FileVault encryption, they can go into the Guest account and surf the web (and activate your LoJack).
