Jump to: navigation, search

KCron is an application for scheduling programs to run in the background. It is a graphical user interface to cron, the UNIX system scheduler. It is driven by a configuration file named crontab that specifies shell commands to run periodically on a given schedule. It can be installed through Synaptic.

When Kcron opens, you will see a list of tasks and variables. To create a new scheduled task, first select the Tasks folder. Then click Edit > New... (or right-click and choose New..., or press Ctrl+N). A self-explanatory dialogue box opens up where you identify which program you want to run and define when it will run.
