CronJr Bug Fixes & Compatability Problems
03/05/93 - Version 2.49 fixes the ROOT installation problems. The
CronJr.BAT file was writing incorrectly writing two \'s
for directory changes and program execution.
Version 2.48 changed the immediate evalation key from ENTER
to E . People were experiencing problems on Novell networks
where their CronJr scripts were logging in and out of networks.
They were experiencing anywhere from 1 to 10 executions per
minute. This was due to a "feature" of both the Netware login
script and CronJr. Some Netware login scripts stuff an
ENTER into the keyboard upon returning to DOS. That ENTER
was being interpreted by CRONJR as an immediate schedule
evaulation and thus resulting in another execution of the
CronJr job. By changing the immediate evaluation key from
ENTER to E fixed this problem.
05/16/92 - Some non 100% Microsoft compatable command interpreters may
cause problems with the creation of the CronJr.LOG file.
The CronJr.LOG file is created via the DOS command line using
the >> output redirectors. The >> redirector appends to
a file. Some Command.COM substitutes such as some versions
of 4DOS do not work properly. The >> redirector in 4DOS
always creates a file, rather than appending to a file.
This problem may not be limited to 4DOS. It is easy to test
for this problem by typing the following at your DOS prompt.
c:\> echo does > kk
c:\> echo this >> kk
c:\> echo work >> kk
The resulting file named KK should contain 3 lines.
05/11/92 - Due to a bug in the Borland Turbo C 1.5 time functions, the
clock would jump 1 hour on April 28, 1992 at 2:00 am and
remain 1 hour ahead until April 29, 1992 at 2:00 am when it
would jump back an hour. This bug has been acknowledged by
Borland and the CronJr and TimeNow programs have been
recompiled with a later release of the C compiler.
Wildcarded minutes are no longer valid. The problem of mixing
incremental minutes and hours has been fixed and limited by
the EditCron program.
08/25/91 - Versions 2.24 and 2.25 were writing garbage parameters into the
CRONWK.BAT file. It worked great as long as you only had one
entry in the CRONJR.SCH file. Changed token scanning code and
tested and tested and tested.
08/01/91 - Installation process ( CRON START ) was not working correctly
for DOS versions 4.0 and above. CronJr treated DOS 4.0 and
higher as if it was a version below 3.3. Oops. We plead
stupidity. If you have DOS version 4.0 or above, and have
installed CRONJR, you should recreate the CRONJR.BAT file
by running CRON START with the new version of CRON .
