I’ve been trying to find a GUI interface for cron on
FC^with KDE. Googling around on that I found a reference to KCRON which I
guess is supposed to be installed along with KDE. But I can’t find
it anywhere on my KDE menus, and it’s not listed on the the “install/remove
programs” tool. On the other hand, when I tried yum install kcron,
it downloaded the files then said “nothing to do” which I think
means it’s installed already. Is it, and if so does anyone know
where I can find it? If not, how can I get it to install? Also, does anyone have recommendations for a task scheduler
with a GUI and a little more functionality than cron, like showing when
something is running, when is the next scheduled run, the ability to suspend
scheduled jobs, etc? There are a number of such things for windoze.
I found this http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=62&page=osource_scheduler_introduction_en.htm
but it is a little too feature rich. I tried it anyway and couldn’t
get it to play nice with mysql (which it requires). Thanks, Steve |
