Thank you for your interest in ATS for OS/2 ver. 2.0b!!
ATS for OS/2 is a robust, full featured job scheduler that brings to the
OS/2 environment the power of host based production job schedulers.
ATS allows you to create true job streams by defining dependencies for a
particular task. Each task can be dependent upon any number/combination of
the following: the completion of another scheduled task, the modification
of a file, or a signal that is sent to the scheduler from outside program.
ATS allows you to define what days of the week a job can run, what days of
the month a job can run, what time of day a job can run, what months the
job can run in, and whether the job can run on a holiday or not.
If you have scheduling requirements that go beyond running a particular
program at a specific time of day, then ATS is for you!
There is but one restriction to this version as compared to the retail
version. This demonstration version only allows you to schedule a maximum
of four (4) tasks. The retail version allows tou to define an unlimitied
number.
Once again, we thank you for you rintereset in ATS. With ATS for OS/2 you
can take control of your scheuling needs.
