I can't comment on Quartz but I did use the Oracle scheduler until someone scheduled a query that ran for hours and made the database useless. It was difficult to recover from because you could not login to stop the task.
If you schedule * * * * * wget http://localhost/cronjob then you don't have any machine dependencies although I generally schedule a shell script because I want an email if it fails which leads to Quartz only works when the JVM is running. I've seen enough JVM crashes to have a cronjob that restarts Tomcat. I don't recall cron ever crashing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
