Summary: jobmanager 1.0.1 Released
Project: Job Manager
jobmanager version 1.0.1 has been released!
This package makes managing cron jobs on unix systems a breeze! It is
composed of a single program, +jobmanager+, which is intended to be
invoked by cron, or a cron-like application. +jobmanager+, in turn,
invokes the specified cron job, in addition to providing the following
added value:
* Logs the output of the cron jobs.
* Rotates the cron job logs.
* Manages a central log which records all cron events (when each job
starts, finishes, the job's success, etc).
* Emails the user the results of the cron job on a configurable
condition (on failure only, on success only, etc.) via sendmail or
smtp.
* Times out a cron job that runs past the configurable timeout.
* Easily scales to handle multiple users' cron jobs.
* Both the default behavior and the per-cron job behavior are highly
configurable.
