Alarm type Scheduled Tasks

Hi everyone! I am looking for a way to have a scheduled task that can run an obey type file as a task that gets run every 5 hours. Does anyone know of any software out there? Apart from Alarm. |

Why, when Alarm exists, is freely available, and could perform this whilst multitasking and performing a host of other duties as required? One could say Organizer, suggest writing a very simple BASIC program to run in a “TaskWindow” etcetera, but why would one bother when Alarm is the simplest solution? I use Alarm with the user-defined display saying “cron” to remind me what it’s doing there on the icon bar, whilst Organizer provides a time-display. Organizer could be doing it all, but I find it convenient to keep some tasks separate. |

It’s okay, I have found Navaho’s !Scheduler module which does exactly what I want :) |

Not heard of that one – where (and how!) did you find it? |

Could it be the this? Seem to remember something about a long time ago but time makes things hazy. |
