Schedwi

Schedwi is a task scheduler. It can run scripts or commands on remote clients at a specified date and time and its chaining capability allows tasks to be run in sequence. Schedwi is composed of the following components:

• The server schedules the tasks and submits them to the clients. The execution of a task (a command) can be triggered by date and time but also by the result of a previous task or by the existence of a file on a remote client (useful when a task must process a file generated by a previous task).
• The clients (or agents) receive the task requests from the server and run them on the local host. They report the execution status to the server.
• An interface allows the administrators to follow the task scheduling in real time. An other one is used to define new tasks and configure the system.
