Re: Advanced Job Scheduler

We've incorporated the use of Google Calendar as our "Job Scheduler".

Now THAT is cool and thinking outside the box.

just set the item in the calendar using one of many interfaces, and then
specify either the command to run or keywords that initiate a command or
program to be run.

We use or Google Calendar Addon for our G4G software to download items
daily and set them up to run. How we use it really very simplistic
compared to how involved it could be.

Let's face it, the most important part of job scheduling is the calendar,
and Google's is pretty nice and available through a HOST of different UIs.
