Z-Cron allows you to plan the execution of commands, programs or scripts, at particular times so that recurring tasks on your PC are run automatically on your predefined schedule.

Z-Cron is a command center for the scheduling or automation of software. Z-Cron can also be installed as a system service. A system service is a program that automatically starts when Windows was booted and will run in the background until Windows is shut down. With the Z-Cron scheduler, you can have all kinds of programs started automatically by the system even if no user is logged in.

Example tasks that can be scheduled with Z-Cron:

● Starting and stopping of applications (also with parameters).
● Calling or saving of Websites.
● Loading documents.
● Starting, stopping, and monitoring system services (professional version).
● Copying, moving, and deleting files and directories.
● Cleanup of directories.
● Archiving and compressing files and directories.
● Switching computers in a network on or off.
● Automated switching of electrical devices, i.e., with Z-USBswitch.
● Establishing and disconnecting internet/VPN connections (Modem/ISDN).
● Putting computers to standby mode and waking them up automatically.

These tasks can be started automatically at the following points in time:

● Daily (every x days).
● Weekly (every x weeks at a weekday you can choose).
● Monthly (at the x calendar day or the x weekday of a month).
● Once.
● After the system startup.
● In regular intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes, every hour, etc.)

You can use Z-Cron scheduler in many different ways, for example:

● Regular data backup (for example with Z-DataDVD or Z-DATdump).
● Automatic switching of electrical equipment or devices (for example with Z-USBswitch/Z-ParSwitch).
● Automatic FTP data transfer (for example with Z-FTPcopyII).
● Defragmentation and Scandisk
● Virus scans
