Chapter 1
Introduction

FThis chapter introduces the major concepts surrounding job scheduling Bin SCHEDULE . The objective of a scheduling system is to ?automatically create and run jobs according to a set of preset Dparameters. While some job schedulers can run jobs according to the .time of day, SCHEDULE does much more.

>SCHEDULE lets you schedule a stream of jobs that are Hinterconnected based on what other jobs in the stream are doing. If you Awant to run a report only after all the departments payrolls are Ecompleted, SCHEDULE can do it. And without all the time and Bhassles most schedulers are known for. SCHEDULE jobs and 8connections can be viewed graphically in a MOTIF window.

DSCHEDULE jobs can be synchronized with other jobs on other Dnodes in the cluster or even network¹. All these factors Emake SCHEDULE the most comprehensive software available for +scheduling jobs on today's complex systems.
