CRON

 

I was not able to get scheduled tasks to work well on 70 series with cron.  I 
always used the Windows scheduler and that seemed to work well.  I also 
remember that on one of the Windows (might have been XP), I had to set the user 
to Administrator rather than fox so that I did not get a DOS cmd window on the 
main CRT each time the program executed.

As with the Unix world, I had to ensure every command and file reference had a 
path defined in the program to ensure it ran correctly.

We defined some scripts to do daily collection of data for an off platform 
computer. The data collection always included the date and time for easy 
verification that the task was running.
