[comp.unix.questions] looking for a UNIX job scheduler

d3e608@pnli.pnl.gov (04/09/91)

Does a job scheduler exists for UNIX which can handle job dependencies, e.g.,
job B depends on the successful completion of job A?  Are there any programs
like this in the pulic domain?  All pointers appreciated.

Thanks,

He looked at me as if I was a side dish he hadn't ordered.
