Cronette provides different type of launch tasks and any task can be specified to launch different type of execution.


HOW IT WORKS

• All the tasks inside Cronette are represented in a document table. 
• Tasks are visualized in a master and details interface

• User can assign to a task a name and a note to recognize it


DIFFERENT PLAN TYPE

• Daily: running at any day
• Weekly: specifying which day of any week to run
• Monthly: specifying which day of any month to run
• Yearly: specifying month and day to run 


MORE

• Up to ten different time to run in the days of the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly plan
• To run at the document opening, if the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly plan matches with the current day and if the max run per day specified was not reached.
• Cronette will launch the tasks in background when scheduled. No further actions required.


USE FOR

• Backups, report creations, emails sending and any other tasks you want to perform not based on time but as example when you shutdown your Mac and only in the days you specify
