GUI for cron

#1 Post by K_B_Tidwell »

Hi, what do people use currently for setting up cron jobs in a GUI? I've found several references to gnome-schedule, but they're all two or three years old and I can't find gnome-schedule in the repos now. Is there anything in the basic MX Linux setup suitable for this job that I've somehow missed?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I guess there is program, job-scheduler in MX repos. It comes preinstalled in MX21.

gcron is also available in the MX-19 Test Repo and MX-21 Repo (use MX Package Installer to install).

But the new job-scheduler is very nice in MX-21.
