NAME
    TaskForest - A simple but expressive job scheduler that allows you to
    chain jobs/tasks and create time dependencies. Uses text config files to
    specify task dependencies.

VERSION
    This is version 1.35.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    With the TaskForest Job Scheduler you can:

    *   schedule jobs run at predetermined times

    *   have jobs be dependent on each other

    *   rerun failed jobs

    *   mark jobs as succeeded or failed

    *   put jobs on hold and release the holds

    *   release all dependencies on a job

    *   check the status of all jobs scheduled to run today

    *   interact with the included web service using your own client code

    *   interact with the included web server using your default browser

    *   express the relationships between jobs using a simple text-based
        format (a big advantage if you like using 'grep')

SYNOPSIS
    Over the years TaskForest has migrated from a collection of simple perl
    modules to a full-fledged system. I have found that putting the
    documentation in a single POD is getting much more difficult. You can
    now find the latest documetation on the TaskForest website located at

     http://www.taskforest.com

    If you run the included web server, you will also find a complete copy
    of the documentation on the included web site.
