<div class="section_header">TaskForest - An Executive Summary</div>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
With the TaskForest Job Scheduler you can:
</p>
<ul class="bullet">
<li>schedule jobs to run at predetermined times,</li>
<li>have jobs be dependent on each other</li>
<li>rerun failed jobs</li>
<li>mark jobs as succeeded or failed</li>
<li>put jobs on hold, and release them</li>
<li>release all dependencies on a job</li>
<li>automatically rerun jobs that fail</li>
<li>receive custom emails when jobs fail, are retried, or succeed</li>
<li>check the status of all jobs scheduled to run today</li>
<li>interact with the included web service using your own client code</li>
<li>interact with the included web server using your default browser</li>
<li>express the relationships between jobs using a simple text-based format (a big advantage if you like using 'grep')</li>
<li>browse job log files using the included web server</li>
</ul>
