CronStalk

CronStalk is a new Open Source project that Eric Ringeisen, TJ Rodgers, and myself have started as a small side project. CronStalk's purpose is to manage a list of programs to be executed at preset times. Scheduled tasks can be created, modified and removed with a graphical user
interface.


This all came about when I posted a thread on DaniWeb with the idea to start a small project with a maximum of 2 - 3 developers. At the time I wasn't really sure what type of project to work on, I just wanted something small and collaborative. Eric (Gribouillis) was the one who suggested a "a robot which executes other programs". After a few e-mails and many thread posts TJ coined the name "CronStalk". We also decided to host the project on Google Code. Google has come threw for us again giving us a free place to collab on code, write documentation, and host discussions about the details of our project.

CronStalk is still under development at the time of this writing but I will be sure to let everyone know when the first stable release is made.
