- New features in Version 1.2
- ---------------------------
-
- There have been made many changes to TimeGuardian since v1.1,
- especially the english documentation has been completely revised.
- Most of the significant changes are listed below:
-
- - the GUI was completely redesigned and many new features were
- added
-
- - especially two new statistics windows have been added. A text
- and a graphics window which will give you detailed information
- on your computers uptime.
-
- - a so called scheduler has been developed to make it very easy to
- create CronTable files. You won't have to handle the cryptic
- syntax anymore.
-
- - the standard Un*x syntax of the CronTables has been expanded by
- some very useful special events. This allows you e.g. to poll
- your the data from your mailbox in a predefined time range
- (cheaper), but it will happen only once a day.
-
- - there are two CronTables executed now synchroniously. One for
- global events and a second for events especially depending on the
- active project.
-
- - two special scripts were added, which will be executed
- "once a month" and "once a week"
-
- - as the "About" page has been removed, an autoclosing about window
- will be displayed during startup
-
- - you may scroll the days on the daily statistics listview
-
- - the task priority of the TGCron may be choosen, as some continously
- CPU using programs like Raytracers may keep it from executing some
- events
-
- - the log files are not stored for each year anymore. The data will
- be kept in one single file from which old entries will be deleted
- each month. The log history may be predefined.
-
- - two external modules for Reminder/Alerts and the log history
- feature were added to keep the size of TGCron very small. Although
- TGCron has been very improved, its size is still 26kB small.
-
- - due to an enhanced parser in TGCron the execution of CronTables will
- be about 10 times faster.
-
- - TGCron quits at once or rereads new config, you won't have to wait
- for the next full minute anymore.
-
- - TGCron is a full featured Commodity now, you may use a "CX_POPKEY"
- to start TimeGuardian by a shortcut.
-
- - ENV variable KEYPATH will be searched for keyfile, too.
-
- - the evaluation time for each day was expanded to 3h.
