Scheduling Software for Large Organisations?

DrCJM asks: "My wife works for a large hospital here in Australia, where her main role is building, managing and (where needed!) enforcing a schedule for all the junior doctors. This schedule covers several campuses, different specialty streams, different expertise levels, and so on. I'm sure there's a scheduling software package out there that can do all of the basic scheduling much faster than their current method of sitting down with very large bits of paper and lots of coloured pens. What software have Slashdot readers encountered that might do the job? Open Source would be great, but commercial efforts are acceptable too."

Cron

Cron is the major choice for this kind of application, it comes as default on every unix, and you can also get wincron.

Just make sure that whatever software you use can handle your volume, unlike ComAir ;-)
