You can choose the task from one of the many categories and then customize it to your needs.

All of them offer a simple template that you can customize. In addition, the chaining feature can run tasks in sequence or conditionally depending on exit codes. Scheduler tasks can be run by the second or minute, or on a hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Additional features include email notifications on task failure, FTP browsing, ZIP file viewer, extensive logging, remote task control and more. The program is written in Java and therefore cross-platform compatible.
