Task and Backup Scheduler.

Z-Cron is a crontab-like scheduler for Windows. It can create scheduled tasks on Windows and execute them when the time comes. It is basically a tool for people who want to add some automation and can monitor computer systems either on or off the network.

Z-Cron contains a lot of built in functions and can show you message logs, shut down the computer, perform system maintenance and more. If you regularly perform backups without automation, this task scheduler might just be the tool you need to save time and stress.

The design of this scheduling software is straightforward and features a few different types of built-in tasks that can be easily created. The scheduling tool allows you to set the time and day for a task to be executed; once the tasks are setup, they appear in the main user interface which can be accessed from the system tray.

All in all, Z-Cron is a simple and free task scheduling application that takes its name from the Linux program which does the same thing.
