Cron on windows

Monday, January 10. 2005

I wanted to do a task every minute on my computer. Currently my desktop machine is Win2K3 server( shoot me if you must ). Windows Task schedular just sux, I couldn't figure a way to run a task every minute, and wizards just kills me.

A quick search showed me that a windows version of cron exists. It even installs as a service. It simply rocks.

Linux/GNU tools are cool.

I use VisualCron which is much better and more versatile than Kalab's cron. You can control it by remote and the features go on and on. It also is installed as a service. http://www.visualcron.com

I prefer VisualCron -> http://www.visualcron.com because of the nice gui and all extra features which the task scheduler and the kalab cron does not have.
