Using KCron
Table of Contents
Don't forget to tell your system to start the
crond cron daemon first, or KCron won't
work.
When KCron starts you will see a summarized view of existing scheduled tasks and associated environment variables. If you are running as the root user, you will see these items for all users on the computer as well as the system scheduled tasks. Each of the folders can be expanded and contracted.
Scheduled tasks appear under a Tasks folder. For each scheduled task, the following are displayed:
Name to identify the scheduled task.
Program file and parameters.
Natural language description of scheduled task.
If a task has been disabled, no program file and parameters will appear, and the description will be disabled.
Environment variables appear under a Variables folder. For each environment variable, the following are displayed:
Variable name.
Variable value.
Natural language description of variable.
Environment variables appearing here will override any existing environment variable for all scheduled tasks. If an environment variable has been disabled, no value will appear and the description will be disabled.
