CronoTask

The incredible tool to manage unattended task on Macintosh
Now native for Mac OSX

Version 1.3.0 Carbon Native now available !

CronoTask is a utility for Macintosh server which allows to select files from disk and specify when they are automatically launched by Cronotask.
Everything on the Hard Disk can be selected and launched (CronoTask uses Apple Events to launch items)
Selecting applications, documents, AppleScript applets, the server administrator is able to launch applications and documents on unattended Mac, executing them without any manual action.
CronoTask is a full, true Mac application.
It doesn't use extensions, control panels, background only applications, hidden files, setting folders with several files to setup, complicate code to learn ... and so on.
CronoTask is a simple application which uses a true Mac interface, with true mac OS X and System 8 & 9 controls and which needs to run just the (obiouvsly) application itself.

Tasks to launch are stored in standard CronoTask file. A single CronoTask file can store as many task as you like with a complex setting of time rules to launch them.
Defining the setting is easy thanks to the true Mac interface.
It's more easy to set a task then explaning how to do it!
CronoTask can run as many as 'CronoTask document' you like and execute them when the rules require that.
The carbonized Mac OSX version is the 1.3 release. it works also under Mac OS 9.
If you need it for older system (even 68 k old Mac with Mac OS 7) you can download the version 1.2 still available here

See the following images (taken under Mac OSX) to see how easy is in any document file to setup (only using the mouse, only using the amazing Mac OS native controls) how many tasks you like to launch.
You can specify the time to launch choosing to use a daily plan, a weekly plan, a monthly plan or even a yearly plan.

The environment is totally modeless, you can setup all the tasks in the document window.
When the task are viewed in the 'list' view in just one shot you can see how many tasks you have inside a document and when they are launched, and in any moment you can zoom in a single task editing it.

We spent a lot of time to ensure the interface of CronoTask where a true Mac interface and now we are pleased with the result !
CronoTask runs in background (or in foreground as you prefer, it's a normal standard application!) of your server and execute all the schedule silently.

Using Applescript applets, a server equipped with CronoTask really allows you to improve your work and the way you realize it.
CronoTask is a must have for any Mac OS based server!
Just think how much activities you can execute during the night or a regular time interval without requiring any human action!

Features

Totally automatize your Mac server.
Easy to use and to setup.
True Mac interface with new Mac controls available in Mac OS 8 & 9 & 10 (Mac OSX)
Possibility to setup complex task combinations.
Works also using more of one setup documents launching all the scheduled task in all the CronoTasks opened document.
Fun to watch, too. It uses 'chasing arrow' launching documents (See the new one under Jaguar Mac OSX 10.2).
It's for Macintosh remember!
