- TechScheduler is a highly configurable program and system scheduler
- for Windows 95, 98, NT workstation, NT Server and Windows 2000.

- on demand. Times can be scheduled to occur throughout the daily, at a given
- point each hour or during ad-hoc times you specify.
-
- Each job can invoke another TechScheduler job when it is complete or it can
- invoke a Windows program when complete. You can test whether jobs were
- successful or failed and invoke different jobs or programs depending on the
- result. You can build circular or recurring jobs or jobs that invoke other
- job streams. There is also an option to have failed jobs automatically
- retry themselves after a given interval.
