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 1.36.

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.
