NOVCRON 4.96.11

    NovCron.NLM is a NLM which performs specified tasks at scheduled times.  
You can perform any console command, load and unload NLMs or execute NCF files
without having to be there.  The system is controlled by a text file :

SYS:\SYSTEM\CRONTAB.DAT

The CRONTAB.DAT file is checked every minute to see if anything is scheduled
to be processed.


The CRONTAB.IMM file can be used to submit any commands needed to be executed
immediately.  In the case of the CRONTAB.IMM file no date or time checking
is performed.  The file will be removed after the commands in the file are
executed.

    After jobs execute an entry is made in a log SYS:\SYSTEM\NOVCRON.LOG.  
Each line in the CRONTAB.DAT file is another command to run.  The format
for the CRONTAB.DAT file is as follows.

Month       -   Month to run process.
space
Day         -   Numeric day of month to run process.
space
Day of Week -   Day of the week to run process.
space
Hour        -   Hour of the day to run process. (in 24 hour format)
space
Minute      -   Minute of the hour to run process.
space
command     -   command to execute with parameters

 '*' can be used to indicate that any value satisfies the required field.
 ',' can be used to seperate specific values within a field.

For example

* * * * * TIME
                This will execute the time command every minute.

* * 5 23 59 disable login
                This disables login at 1 minute till midnight on Fridays.

* * 1 6 0 enable login
                This enables login on Monday morning at 6:00.

                This runs a year end procedure at 11:59 PM on december 31

* 1 * 0 1 MONTHEND
                This runs a month end report at 1 minute after midnight on
                the first of every month.
* * 0 0 1 WEEKEND
                This runs a weekly report on at 1 minute after midnight every

command line to a particular screen.
