VisualCron

VisualCron: A handy automation software offering advanced file/script execution, document transfer, desktop macro recording, as well as SQL execution and monitoring

VisualCron is a comprehensive automation program offering an intuitive working environment that’s packed with useful features and simplifies task scheduling. It offers an impressive number of options that allow even those with no programming or scripting skills to automate repetitive tasks.

The program can be controlled from its system tray menu and it relies on a server-client architecture. As a result, the server runs as a Windows service continuing to perform tasks even without a user being logged in.

On the other hand, the client can be used to manage tasks as well as create new ones. VisualCron bundles a large number of preset actions for various purposes such as uploading files, executing or closing processes, sending emails, performing network maintenance, encrypting data, executing SQL scripts, managing files, instant messaging, performing Excel operations and many more.

To create a new job, you’ll need to go through a comprehensive setup which includes defining time exceptions and triggers, setting timeouts and conditions. However, all the effort spent for customizing the configuration process will ensure everything runs flawlessly afterwards and the tool will be able to carry out repetitive tasks in a reliable manner.
