What are the alternatives to the Open Source Job Scheduler?

Question

Are there any alternatives to the Open Source Job Scheduler? I'm looking for a way to gain more control over scheduled work tasks than plain cron is offering, but haven't found anything else but Quartz, which isn't language-neutral.

Answer 1

I can't imagine what do you expect from it, if you want "task scheduler" than you probably want to specify interval and task itself. that's exactly what cron is for.

Answer 2

I'm not sure from your question, but I think SuperScheduler could match your requirements: http://www.acelet.com/super/SuperScheduler/index.html

Answer 3

There's JAMS. http://www.mvpsi.com/JobScheduling.aspx

Especially awesome if you're using OpenVMS
