Not that I know of. Most automation in Linux based systems is done with cron. If you wan't conditional task scheduling like they advertise, you can get cron to run a script (shell, Perl, Python, whatever you like) to check for the certain conditions and run programs accordingly. As for things like automated e-mail checking, this can be achieved with cron and the Firefox add-on iMacros.

For simulating mouse and keypress events in other locations you can use XMacro. Of course this can also be used with cron by itself or in shell scripts.

    Yep, check out XMacro: xmacro.sourceforge.net It can record events and play them back. Simply schedule cron to run your recorded event.

    @kevin boyd: expect can also do this if you don't need the mouse simulation.
