Using launchctl to start jobs set up by Lingon is quite straightforward. If you have used Lingon to create a scheduled action (lets say that you name the XML file that Lingon creates 'com.report.weekly.plist') then you just need to run:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.report.weekly.plist
I love Lingon. It's helped me make a few simple recurring processes on our systems that just couldn't be done using cron. And like Rob, I couldn't understand how to make the necessary xml file for a launchd process.
The only thing I don't understand is why in the hint it says 'Lingon is a GUI interface (10.5 only)' I know for a fact I've used Lingon on 10.4. It may be that the newest version is Leopard only, but it's still possible to locate the older Tiger compatible version I believe. It should be noted in this hint that if you're still using Tiger, you're not out luck with using Lingon.
What is the advantage to using Lingon versus scheduling events with Automator/AppleScript and iCal? For system-related timed or repeated tasks, I just log onto my admin account (to keep those tasks off my regular calendar) and set up the events in iCal.
launchd (like cron) doesn't require a user to be logged on in order for tasks to be run.

Yes, there is a 10.4 version, And a much better version in my opinion.
The 10.5 version is way too Dumbed down.
Which means you can only do simple task
The 10.4 version has more options and an Advance section.

I totally agree, the old version was much better and did not require of the user that he quits in order to load a task.
Please Peter Borg, give us an advance mode in lingon !
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/foo.plist
launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/foo.plist
Lingon X 6 5 850
AFAIK the launchctl unload will only be in effect until next logout.
if you want to unload using the this method permanently use the -w option.
