nnCron

nnCron is an advanced scheduler, scripting tool and automation manager. Besides possessing the traditional scheduler features (starting programs, displaying reminder messages and opening documents at specified time), nnCron also can: - start any program as a service, - run tasks as if they were started by specified user, - handle and restart so called missed tasks and reminders, - shut down and hibernate the computer or put it into sleep mode at a specified time, - "wake up" the computer in order to run a task, - display/hide/close/kill/minimize/maximize and hide specified windows to system tray, - display messages on screen and write them in a log file, - work with clipboard, files and registry, - emulate keyboard input and mouse activities, - dial and hang up, - use the system speaker to make beeps of specified length and frequency, - play audio files, - sync system time, - assign a specified priority to a process, - terminate any running process, - restart automatically after fatal errors. nnCron can be used as system event monitor: it can keep track of files, flags, windows, processes, mouse activities, periods of idle time, keyboard shortcuts, getting online/off line, insertion of disk in a drive, presence of a host in network (ping), amount of free space on a disk, etc., etc. nnCron understands cron table format (Unix) and is managed with easy-to-edit text crontab files. However, for those who prefer to work in a GUI environment, the program has a graphical shell which can be used to remove, add, edit and run tasks, set up reminders, change program settings. nnCron has its own powerful (Forth-compatible) scripting language, allows to use VBScript/JScript, as well as regular expressions, and can be further extended with plugins. nnCron can be started as a system service or as a regular standalone application.
