I, too, would like to see SD have the ability to run without the requirement of being logged in. Since you run SD's schedules via cron wouldn't it be possible to assign the SD scheduled event to the system cron and, since root is basically always logged in, run in the background? I guess you could design SD to run this way if you were willing to forfeit some of its modality. Maybe for a future release?
