[OpenIndiana-discuss] Is time-slider usable for most folks

[hput]

Trying to use the time slider... evertime I start it up and
authenticat, when I actuall try to set "custom" and adjust something
It freezes with a sign saying `configuring' but never finishes.

It apparently cannot by killed with a kill -KILL command on the pid,
nor canceled by using the cancel or ok buttons

What are people using to automate snapshots?

Is the time-slider actually usable for most folks?
