Job scheduler

* A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution

* Today's job schedulers, provide a GUI and a single point of control for definition and monitoring of background executions in a distributed network of computers.

* They are required to integrate the real-time business activities with traditional background IT processing

* They eliminate any manual intervention required for kicking off jobs hence saving many man hours.
