How it works:
- All the tasks inside Cronette are represented in a document table. The task is visualized in a master and details interface (the well know layout used in a multitude of Mac software, the user selects the task in the master table and he can see and edit details visualized under the table)
- User can insert in a document how many tasks he likes
- User can assign to a task a name and a note to recognize it
- Daily running at any day
- Weekly: specifying which day of any week to run
- Monthly: specifying which day of any month to run
- Yearly: specifying month and day to run
- Up to ten different time to run in the days of the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly plan
- To run at the document opening, if the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly plan matches with the current day and if the max run per day specified was not reached.
The user can select which action to perform when the task is launched:
- Select a document or a application or a script to launch using a selection dialog, as example creating backp archives with DMG Master
- Opening different type of URLs
- Execute different actions such as restarting, shutting down, sleeping or just sending a message to the log
- Executing unix commands directly from Cronette Cronette will launch the tasks in background when scheduled. No further actions required.
- Allows to specify a task using Mac standard Cocoa controls (no coding required)
- Instant diagnostic of task as they are inserted, showing errors presence (wrong path, incomplete time execution input and so on..)
- Display of 'runnable' task and 'non runnable' task to better understand what you have inside documents
- Shows the chronological schedule for any separate task
- Shows the chronological schedule for all the tasks combined, inside a user selected time interval. The user can watch the future...
- Display executed process in a separate log Window for any documents
- It's document based, allowing to have different tasks grouped in separate documents set
- Can operate Cronette as a Utility tool simply using just one document and having it opened at startup without further actions (preference option) Cronette was written from scratch in Objective-C using the last technology for Mac OS X. It is fast, effective and very light to run on any Mac.

Very good software and very simple to use.
I use it to launch a specific url to update data on my remote server.
Thanks for this master piece.

Lingon is a graphical user interface for creating an editing launchd configuration files for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 and it's free.

Terrible name choice, though, for something which is not supposed to use cron and I presume uses launchd. Should have called it Launchette.

I use Lingon all the time under 10.5 and it never crashed on me.
