Z-Cron – Powerful Task Scheduler

Z-Cron is a freeware (for personal use) and powerful task scheduler. Although Windows does come with a task scheduler but you would hardly call it user friendly and it isn’t nearly as powerful as Z-Cron.

Z-Cron has a large list of tasks that you can schedule, but here are some of the highlights:

• Copy, Move & Delete Files – Useful for backup devices
• Kill – Closes a file
• Download – Downloads a file via HTTP
• Mail – Send an email with SMTP
• Ping – Pings an IP address to test for connectivity
• Reboot – Reboots the computer
• Remote Shutdown – Remotely shut down a computer
• Wake on LAN – Remotely power up a computer
• Connect/Disconnect – Connects or disconnects a dialup connection
• Watch – Monitors a program. If the program “dies”, it will be restarted
• And more, here is the complete list

An example of what you could do with Z-Cron is to get it to start a backup on a remote computer and have it email you when it finishes; or, if you were in a job that managed many computers on a network, you could set a master computer to turn on all the computers in the building in the morning and shut them down at night. There are many possibilities.
