I've removed advertising from most of this site and will eventually clean up the few pages where it remains.

While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.

If you found something useful today, please consider a small donation.

A semi-commercial replacement for cron. It's free for personal use:

 Vexus is dedicated to providing
 something back to the community so
 personal copies of Avatar are free.
 

Cron certainly does have limitations. They don't give pricing on their http://www.vexus.ca/ website, which usually means expensive :-)

But free personal use could be useful too, especially on NT which has really bad scheduling. Assuming they'd consider any NT use "personal", of course.

See these also:

• Anacron
• Fcron
• Mcron
