Hi to FFS developers!

There is cron task scheduler in all Linux distributions.
There is no clean way to run gui applications from cron as root: problems with auth credentials (in modern distributions. Old distro, for example Debian Etch, can run superuser gui programs from cron.).
But root privileges are required to avoid access problems during backup.

So, could you add option to run batch FFS task without GUI?

p.s.
I experiments with sudo WITHOUT PASSWORD mode, it not helps.
