I have 5 scripts that run multiple times during the day {disaster recovery, file downloads, hard copy prints, etc}, and they all seem to run at different durations and times, so the possibility of one running on top of another exists. I have used the task scheduler within Windows 2003 server, and it is pretty limited. I am looking for an alternative that will allow jobs to specifically run at the desired times, and if another job comes up to run at the same time, the scheduler will queue the new job to run after the current is finished. My current setup (the windows task scheduler), doesn't care if another job comes up. It runs them both simultaneous. Then, both jobs seem to lose focus and stall out, or they get a run-time errors. I looked at the scheduler within the Boston software, but it didn't suit my requirements. Any suggestions???
