Better Scheduler Than Cron?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday May 12, 2005 @02:40PM from the better-than-the-reigning-champion dept.

Chanc_Gorkon asks: "I am looking for an open source job scheduler that is better than cron. I need a scheduler that has dependency checking, preemption (to stop jobs that access the same resources from running at the same time) and -full- logging. Cron e-mails are nice, but I usually end up cleaning them out with out reading. E-mailing the sysadmin -only- when a job does not get kicked off would be the preferable option. I have scoured Freshmeat and Sourceforge and have found nothing that comes close to what I am looking for. Do you guys have some options for me?"

I can't believe that Ask Slashdot caters to people who are too lazy to search Freshmeat.
