VisualCron is a powerful task scheduler and automation program for Windows that helps to control repetitive processes without requiring complex scripting.
Build
Once installed, it becomes possible to create jobs with an intuitive GUI with drag-and-drop controls. Users can chain multiple tasks with logic-based flow controls like conditions and loops. The software supports more than 300 prebuilt assignment types for services, files, emails and scripts.
Jobs can be triggered by time, file changes, process activity, system events or custom conditions. You are able to define granular rules for multiple scenarios, including server reboots or new uploads. As for integration, the tool perfectly works with PowerShell, CMD, VBScript and other scripting languages.
