[comp.os.os2.misc] Batch Scheduling for OS/2

blambert@lotus.lotus.com (Brian Lambert) (02/22/91)

Does anyone know of a batch-job scheduling facility for OS/2?  Something
that would allow me to set up a queue of .cmd files to be executed
nightly would be great.

Thanks in advance,

There is a PM util called CHRON, shareware, which works great.  It's available
from the OS/2 ftp site:  mtsg.ucb.ca       cd to OS2.

I wrote a CRON facility for OS/2 (mainly for my BBS) which will run
jobs at a given time. They can be batch files, .EXEs or whatever. 

Let me know how you want it and I will send it to you, or, alternatively,
you can download it from my BBS. 


Cheers!
Steve
