    An extract from the Unisched documentation:

    ---------- 8< ----------

    1. WHAT IS UNISCHED?
    --------------------

    Unisched is a fully year 2000 compliant scheduler software that has been designed with special consideration of the needs of a Fidonet node system. To cut it short: Unisched can react to various kinds of events with various actions. Possible events are:

    - time controlled events (for example: every day at 15:00, every 1. each
    month at 10:00, every 30 minutes, ...)
    - the creation of sempahore files / flag files by other programs
    - new mail has been received in the mailer's inbound directory
    - a function key has been pressed at the Unisched console

    Possible actions are:

    - An external program, batch file, script, Workplace Shell object can be
    startet.
    - Unisched can exit with a certian error level.
    - Unisched can modify a Binkley style static outbound (create a poll,
    change the flavour of a mail packet, ...)
    - Others (like playing music, creating flag files, deleting flag files, ...)

    Unisched is intended to be a powerful program built around a simple and easily intelligible concept. In order to fully understand the event-action concept of Unisched, I suggest that you carefully read the documentation, but at least you should read section 3.3. Unisched is not like other schedulers, so you will surely profit from reading the docs :-).

    Unisched is available as a 16 bit DOS executable (which is multitasking aware and has been successfully tested unter plain DOS, DESQview, Windows 95, Windows NT and OS/2) and of course as 32 bit native OS/2 executable (UNISCHE2.EXE). If you use the DOS executable, SHARE.EXE or a similar support for file locking MUST be active!


    2. WHAT DO I NEED UNISCHED FOR?
    -------------------------------

    The possible fields of application of Unisched are diverse, and it surely can be useful even for non-Fidonet specific purpose. However, I have primarily written it to be a frontend for a seperate tosser task of a Fidonet node system, and this is where Unisched's strengths play at their best.

    Instead of having to fiddle around in mailer batch files and mailer event files, the node can have a separate independent tosser task (be it a task under a multi tasking operating systems, or a separate DOS computer in a local area network). Unisched is being active 24/7. At certain times it starts the tosser to let it export mail that has been written locally or in the BBS. Every time the mailer receives mail, Unisched sees it (either because the mailer has created a semaphore file indicating that mails has been received, or because Unisched has poked directly in the inbound directory) and starts the tosser to let it import the mail. If the sysop ever feels the need to manually start the tosser, he simply presses a function key in Unisched which is associated to the same action as the event that automatically starts the tosser. Every morning at seven o'clock, Unisched plays a little wake-up tune, and, and, and ....

    The advantage of this approach is obvious: If you start the tosser directly from the mailer batch, on a multiline system, you always must take the risk that two tossers are running parallel. Also, if you start the tosser from the mailer batch, the result is that the mailer is not available while you are tossing. These are two strong reasons why you want to have a separate tosser task.

    Unisched separates what should have been separated in the first place: The mailer exclusively serves the modems, and Unisched does the rest. In the mailer event file, you only need to define two events, namedly ZMH and the rest of the day, so that the mailer does not have to do enything except what it has been designed for: to exchange mail. :-)
    ---------- 8< ----------

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Martin

    UniSched is a scheduler application (IIRC only for OS/2?) written by Tobias Ernst. I wonder what kind of information Andreas is looking for, as this great tool has a nice doc...

    Hallo Sean

    näheres über das Programm "unisched" heraus zu bekommen, und suche
    What does this program do, exactly?
    Was tut dieses Programm genau?
    Es arbeitet nach dem Prinzip eines Schedulers (Manager's), und ist
    dadaurch in der Lage einzelne Programme von mir abzuarbeiten, damit ich
    nicht alles per Hand machen muß.

    Ich habe aber übrigens schon Fehler gefunden, um das Programm ans laufen
    zu bringen. Und ich bin laut der Docu auf dieses Echo hier gestoßen da es
    vom Programmierer vorgeschlagen wurde!
    Aber trotzdem danke das mir da jemand hilft:-)

    Gruß

    (Babelfish's translation of Andreas's previous message:

    It works according to the principle of a scheduler (Manager's), and is dadaurch
    in the layer individual programs of me to be processed, so that I do not have to make everything by hand. I found however by the way already errors, in order
    run the program to to bring. And I am according to the Docu encountered this echo it by the programmer was suggested here there! But nevertheless thanks me someone helps there :-)

    A few people have showed me (and the rest of us) what unisched is supposed to do... what kind of problems are you having with it? I use OS/2 and I use "Scheduler" (IBM employee-written software) for my timed events.

    I'm using Babelfish to translate this from English to German, so please pardon any strange grammar or spelling. ;)

    (Babelfish's translation of my message:

    Einige Leute haben mich gezeigt daß (und den Rest von uns) was soll tun... unisched, welche Art von Problemen Sie habend mit ihr sind? Ich benutze OS/2 und ich benutze "Scheduler" (IBM Angestellt-geschriebene Software) für meine zeitgesteuerten Fälle. Ich verwende Babelfish, um dieses von englischem zum Deutschen zu übersetzen, gefalle so Entschuldigung jede merkwürdige Grammatik oder Rechtschreibung ;)
