Planning and scheduling jobs can mean a lot of work, especially if they are spread across multiple machines. Here’s a tool to make that task a lot easier.
The ability to perform a certain task at a specific time or at regular intervals is a necessary task for sys admins. The original cron daemon offers an easy method for job scheduling on Unix-based systems. Although cron has seen a number of improvements over the years, even the newer versions are designed for very basic scheduling. An administrator who wants to do anything unusual must either create a wrapper script or build the additional functionality into whatever script is started by cron.
