The program is not crashing XBMC for me when exiting though. Please attach a debug log of your system to see where the problem might be. If Kr0nZ is still monitoring this thread perhaps he can help with the editing commands issue.

On another note I've drastically updated the addon today. These fixes are all for Helix only. There were some significant performance improvements using the new xbmc.Monitor methods for service addons, as well as checking the cron.xml file modification time so I'm not just reading in this file constantly.

I've also added a way to interface with the addon using a python module instead of having to read/write to the cron.xml file directly. Here is a simple example. First add the following import to your custom addon in the "requires" section: <import addon="service.cronxbmc" version="0.0.4" />

Next import the right classes and interact with them

Code:

from cron import CronManager,CronJob

manager = CronManager()

#get jobs
jobs = manager.getJobs()

#delete a job
manager.deleteJob(job.id)

#add a job
job = CronJob()
job.name = "name"
job.command = "Shutdown"
job.expression = "0 0 * * *"
job.show_notification = "false"

manager.addJob(job)

#Please be aware that adding or removing a job will change the job list (and change job ids) so please refresh your job list each time by using:

jobs = manager.getJobs()

#This will also pull in any new jobs that may have been added via other methods

All you would need for this is some place to host the files - I use an internal webserver at my house to distribute stuff. I don't have this addon in the official repo so it can't be automatically found.
