Cron the Clock Dameon

 

Cron (Version 1.8) is an event scheduler for Windows modeled after the Unix utility of the same name. Using a powerful scheduling system, Cron is able to trigger specified events at regular intervals.

Events can consist of up to three components each, in any combination:

  • A program to execute (BAT, EXE, COM, or PIF file formats supported)
  • A sound (WAV) file to play
  • A text message to display
Cron is a very small and efficient program, exerting a minimal load on the operating system, making it a very popular alternative to larger "scheduling" applications. Due to the nature of event-triggering programs, they must be loaded at all times to in order to function. Cron takes such a small amount of system resources that it uses very little memory and computing cycles to operate, compared to other bloated event schedulers that load a tremendous amount of unnecessary programs to do similar actions.

Click HERE to download the Windows 3.x demo.

These two downloads include the same files. The only difference is in the installation used. There are currently no 32-bit, Windows 95/NT-specific versions of Cron. Version 1.8 will operate effectively under any of these operating systems.

For Windows 3.x users, we are providing a separate download of this program. This is a self-extracting ZIP file that you can just download into a directory of your choice (you should create a 'Cron' directory) and run. This will extract all of the necessary files into that directory. Once extracted, simply double-click the file 'cron.exe' from this directory and Cron will run. You may want to create an icon shortcut to Cron in a Windows Group, as well as placing it in your Startup Group if you want to have Cron run every time you start Windows.

You are under absolutely no obligation to buy any program that you try, so go ahead and get it!
