One Job with Multiple Schedules
Some tasks don't need to run at the same time every day. For example, you could have a job that runs every day at the same time, plus every Sunday at the same time. You don't need to create a separate job for every schedule you want the same job to use.
Creating a Notification List
Notification lists let you create groups of users or e-mail addresses to send notifications to. This is helpful when you want certain jobs or events to always notify the same group of people, including non-Skybot Scheduler users.
Creating a Job Monitor
Job Monitors let you know if a job runs long, ends early, or started late. You simply set the details for each type of monitor, including how to be notified if something happens. Job Monitors can be used as prerequisites for reactivity in your event-driven schedule.
Creating an FTP Job
Skybot Scheduler makes it easy to automate file transfers. Once you've set up your FTP systems, simply use the Commands section of a job to set up the file transfer.
Creating a File Transfer System
Skybot Scheduler makes transferring files easy. Once you have a file transfer system set up, you just enter file name and directories to work with, and Skybot Scheduler write the command for you - automatically.
