simplecron

We have hosted the application simplecron in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about simplecron:

Simple scheduler utility for Windows PCs which executes specified commands at specified times / days for the currently logged-in user.
The specification of actions follows widely the crontab syntax as e.g. described in https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
Missed tasks will always be started at the next possible time, i.e. at the next system startup.

Installation:
* Install the Java runtime environment in at least version 1.8 (if not already installed). You can download it from https: //www.java.com/download.
* Select some program folder (e.g. C: \Program Files (x86)), download SimpleCron.zip there, and unpack it (=> <ProgramFolder>\SimpleCron).
* Execute (by double clicking) InstallSimpleCron.vbs (this will establish the work folder C: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SimpleCronSimpleCron, create an entry in the Startup (AutoStart) folder, and start SimpleCron)
* SimpleCron will (after start) remind you to edit the crontab as soon as possible.

• Cron-like syntax to specify times and actions
• Tray icon to retrieve status info / control scheduler
