JCron Scheduler
JCron Scheduler is a Joomla component for Cron Tasks Management and Scheduling!
With it's very intuitive cronjob setup interface you can now run cronjobs on your site at preset periods of time with just a few clicks!

It's purpose is to simulate cron jobs through Joomla front end interface at preset periods of time for users who either don't have access to the server crontab or don't want to use it for any purpose!

How it works:

- first install the JCron component avalaible through the DOWNLOAD link
- in your Configuration area you will see a button called "Enable CRON RUN"
- by clicking that a code will be inserted into your template so cronjobs can be launched at their preset time from within your Joomla site
- after that, by clicking the "Disable CRON RUN", the code will be removed if you haven't done any modifications to it

Note*: the cronjob is launched at the preset time only if your site gets visits in place, each time a user or spider accesses your site you will have the cron running, else you might consider a server side solution!
Note**: to execute the cron jobs, we use the PHP exec() function, so your provider must have it enabled!

Time-sensitive jobs by wb7shc, November 22, 2007
As it is currently designed, the cronjob is launched at the preset time only if your site gets visits in place. This means that unless it is frequently visited, the scheduling options are a moot point, as cron jobs are essentially run on demand, rather than by schedule.

The application definitely has its uses, and I am happy with the ease of configuration, but it is no substitute for time-sensitive jobs. Nevertheless, it is a keeper, and I am definitely looking forward to future implementations!


Does exactly what it says on the tin by seatonnet, October 20, 2007
Never having used a CRON scheduler before it was an interesting experiment that worked 'out of the box'

Nice and tidy install, simple setup and ease of use.

I tried and tried to get my cron to work, both through the crontab and my host's control panel, no luck. Then I installed JCron Scheduler, set up a job, and it ran the very first try! Thank you!

This component works great. After trying to get the cron job for Thyme calendar running on the server for a while with no success, I installed this and set it up and it works perfectly now. Great solution for those who don't have easy server access!
