TaskForest - An Executive Summary

Taskforest is a simple but expressive open-source job scheduler that allows you to chain jobs/tasks and create time dependencies. It uses text config files to specify task dependencies.

With the TaskForest Job Scheduler you can:

- schedule jobs to run at predetermined times,
- have jobs be dependent on each other
- rerun failed jobs
- mark jobs as succeeded or failed
- check the status of all jobs scheduled to run today
- interact with the included web service using your own client code
- interact with the included web server using your default browser
- express the relationships between jobs using a simple text-based format (a big advantage if you like using 'grep')
- browse job log files using the included web server
