A Cron is a program that will run other programs or arexx scripts at
a given time and date.
EZCron is unlike other Cron programs in that it gives the user a complete
Graphic User Interface for controlling your programs start time, start
date, arguments, sound sample on start time, and even text reminder
strings! EZCron makes it easy to add, edit, enable, disable and delete
existing events using an easy to use GUI. No more messing around with
unix like cron config files and hard to learn syntax. EZCron makes it
easy! Online help included with the touch of a button.
Give this program 3 days and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!
NOW IN ITS 8TH RELEASE.
********IMPORTANT********
As of version 2.00 of EZCron, a lot has changed. Please DELETE the
contents of your old EZCron directory before installing this one.
You can also copy the old one into another directory if you like.
