SIMPLY EFF-ing INCREDIBLE!
There are only a few actions to explain in more detail:
The task [B]NandroidFiles[/B] deletes the Nandroid backups from two days before. I set this as two days so not to use too much storage space and to make sure there was a spare backup in case the daily backup task failed for any reason.
The back up folder is found in [I]sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[/I] and automatically named [I]scheduledbackup-2011-06-02-05.00.00/[/I]
The '2011-06-02' is initially a problem as this is almost the opposite of Tasker's inbuilt [B]%DATE[/B] variable formatted as '6-2-11'. We need to use Tasker's [B]%DATE[/B] minus two days to match it to the dated backup file we want to delete.
Following the task through, you'll see that we transfer [B]%DATE[/B] to the created variable [B][B]%NDATE[/B][/B] before 'variable splitting' it by the '-' to leave 6 2 and 11 in [B]%NDATE1[/B], [B]%NDATE2[/B] and [B]%NDATE3[/B] respectively.
So, it's the 2nd of June for the sake of this example and using basic maths would mean that two days before this would be the 2-2 of June = 0th of June!? That's obviously no good to us... It should be the 31st May, so how do we easily do that...?!!? :eek:
The answer is to use a 'pseudo-array' from [URL="http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/browse_thread/thread/1e1c531b900312e9#"]this thread[/URL] with credit to the brains of [URL="http://androidforums.com/members/unclemike.html"]UncleMike [/URL]. Now don't take a look at the below and give up reading, because it's actually a very simple and useful process. Honest(!):
If we are in the 6th month of the year which is June and our -2 days are taking us back to the number of days in May, then we need to quickly reference the 6th month to the 31 days of May. Have a look below and you'll see that between the brackets of (6) is the number 31.

reboot recoverycan you please explain how you did this? I'm guessing you used secure settings for failed login attempts right?
how did you make tasker to send the taken picture via email? please share your setup
thanks
