Try Cronicle for free, or upgrade to your own private, persistent job scheduler hosted by Opsbay.
Overview
Opsbay provides secure, fully managed hosting for Cronicle, the lightweight, open-source task scheduler and automation platform. Cronicle gives you a browser-based interface for scheduling scripts, commands, periodic jobs, notifications, and automation workflows — all without installing or maintaining your own server. Start right away with our shared trial instance, or deploy a dedicated Cronicle instance for real automation and production use.
Free Shared Access (Trial)
Our shared Cronicle environment lets you explore the features immediately:
