JIT Terminal

JIT Terminal is the tool, which helps user to manage the task list. It displays the list of user's tasks and performs operations : create, edit and delete. The List Window is divided into several columns.

• "Task" column displays task names. It also displays the activity flag. Color icon here designates that this task is active. Other columns display other information on tasks.

• "Time" column shows the launching time. If it contains plus character, it means that "Run after" option is enabled. The Exclamation sign here designates periodical task.

• "Command" column shows task command and can contain "DOC>" ,"MSG>" or "SDN>" words, which shows that this task opens Document, displays Message or performs System Shut down. If these words are absent, the task runs an Application. See "Creating and editing tasks" for details about task properties.

This file is played when Scheduler displays "Message" task or confirmation dialog. If this property is empty Scheduler produces standard beep.

Log to file

JIT Scheduler can write information on launched tasks to text log file.

You can also specify the Schedule file to be used. JIT can be used in multi - user network systems without problems. The Program saves information in "Local User" branch of System Registry and every user can select and use his own Schedule file and customize his own settings.

It is possible to specify system variables in the file names. See Tips and Tricks - Tip 14

Terminal doesn't allow to edit System Scheduler settings, if System Schedule is not installed or if there is no write access to System Schedule file. This feature may be used by Administrators for protection purposes. See Tips and Tricks for details.
