CronIco - a winCron addon
Introduction
I was in need of a simple task scheduler for win95, so I
searched the internet for schedulers - and found several
ones. Then I found wincron. I really liked the idea of
the flat schedule text file (and of course the freeware
concept ;). But I disliked the missing function of
minimizing it to the system tray. So here's my addon.
Hmm, maybe the wincron author did already made such an
addon to his program. Ok, then i will delete this one here
asap ;)
How to...?
Launch each wincrons with the /hide option.
Launch cronico. You may define the wincron check
interval by using the optional interval parameter:
cronico 10000
launches cronico and sets the wincron interval to
10000 ms. Default value is 15 minutes.
Cronico checks for "wincron" titled windows every
specified interval. If no wincron is found, the
program's icon turns red. Otherwise it shows
a small hint if you move the mouse over the icon.
Registration
CronIco is inexpensive shareware. It costs only $100.
You may register via credit card and... ah. hmm. ok.
Hell no, CronIco is a quick and dirty addon so it's
freeware as winCron is (uhm, did i say that wincron
is a quick and dirty program, too? No! I didn't. Ok,
so move on.)
