Scheduler

OK, I will improve the Uninstaller with the removal of those files too. :) However, the Uninstaller was intended to remove changes that the user could not do easily. Actually, the Uninstaller has several options intended for the user to select the aggressiveness of the uninstallation process.

launchd has replaced cron in the later versions of OS X. And there is a great free GUI for launchd called Lingon. I still do not see the advantages of Scheduler over Lingon. Perhaps the developer can provide a comparison.

Hi, my name is João Varela and I am the developer of Scheduler. Basically I started this project in 1999. I developed Scheduler for myself, basically, because I wanted to have an app that took care of all my scheduling needs. I don't want different apps for doing basic scheduling. I then decided to give my work away to the community. Scheduler goes far beyond cron and launchd in several aways, as it has built-in functions for posting reminders together with your favorite music (including iTunes songs), launch and open web pages and download files with your favorite browser, among may other features and options. Moreover, Scheduler has many, many scheduling options that are very difficult to do with launchd or cron, such as with a few clicks you can schedule a script to be launched every 2 minutes on the last monday of the month of June, but not in July, and so and on. Moreover, Scheduler also deals with conundrum of deferred task execution when computers are turned off at the endo of the day, which cron does not do. If you want to know more about deferred task execution why that is important for a Scheduler app please download Scheduler and read its Help. At the moment I am developing version 6, building the app from the ground up in Cocoa. The look of the app will undergo a facelift because I agree that Scheduler look looks dated. Also with iCloud in Lion syncing stuff between different computers will be a cinch. I hope this helps, João Varela Scheduler developer
