There is fcron. It has more functionality than cron, but I don't think it can link jobs together.

Hi Michael, if you are still having issues with scrduling and need something better than Cron. then you might want to have a look at Unijob, its scheduling tool specifically for cron and WinAT. it automatically identifies all the cron jobs on a server (bit like google desktop) imports them into a GUI the lets you manage all the jobs from there.

Hope that helps albeit a little late.

Cheers
Rohit

You can also try gato, to install gato and alarm-clock

-- Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type or better copy and paste:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gato alarm-clock

-- give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

You will find gato and alarm clock under Applications->Accessories menu

Hope this helps

Google "slurm-llnl", "grid engine", "torque" or "OpenPBS".
