RE: Job Scheduling Tool

rescheduling events scheduled during times when the system was not in
operation?

daylight savings time?

job dependencies? (sure, you can code them up one off, but a job scheduling
utility system gives you some consistency)

success/failures/transaction statistics/resource consumption statistics
recording (sure, you can code them up one off, ....)

I'm not sure what ever happened to the job scheduler that Jeffrey Pugh wrote
(and marketed), but I think it was purchased by Legent, who were then
acquired, etc., etc.

It was nearly as simple to configure and use as cron, less cryptic, and you
could tell it what to do about "missing time." It was also pretty light
weight in its own resource consumption. I don't know whether Jeffrey reads
this list -- maybe he'll chime in.

 What are other members of the list using and would recommend?
