- CronTab v0.91
- -------------
-
- CronTab runs programs and macros at scheduled time,
- allowing backups, compression of files, defragmentation
- of disks and memory or any other batch at regular
- intervals (e.g. during the night).
-
- When the machine is off, CronTab wakes it up, runs the
- batch and switches it off.
-
- CronTab features also the possibiliy to run alarms
- that will stop after a specified number of sounds,
- saving the batteries when someone is not around
- to cancel it.
-
-
- Installation:
- -------------
- Install the packages CronTab.sis and Macro5Lib.sis
- as you do with all SIS files : double-click on them either
- on the PC (if PsiWin 2.1 is installed) or on the Series 5
- (if there is an Add/Remove icon in the configuration panel).
- If you don't already have it, install SysRam1.sis.
-
-
- Usage:
- ------
- The usage of ConTab is quite similar to the
- regular setting of alarms.
-
- You can choose to execute a program or a macro,
- to sound an alarm or to backup and compress a folder.
-
- The repeat method 'Set by macro' is meant to be used
- with macros only. In this case the macro sets itself
- the next execution by putting in the variable NextTime&
- the time (in seconds from 01/01/1970) of the next wake up.
- If NextTim&=0, the job is disable. You can use this option
- to make the scheduling of jobs dependent of external
- factors or to set up unregular intervals (e.g. every hours
- from 8h00 to 18h00).
-
-
- Known issues :
- --------------
- CronTab uses the temporary UID &FEDCBA96.
