Wireless Scheduler with Cron Job

Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Linux systems which enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. In this example, we'll use cron to control the wireless signal, and set it to turn on only at given time.

DD-WRT is shipped with cron support, but again we'll use our own cron daemon as it's easier for future updates and will save some flash wearing.
