I am using NT Crond on Win NT 3.51 and 4.0 workstation to run various batch jobs. For the $25 share ware price it is a bargain. It also is supposed to run on NT server. If you can prepare a batch file to run your Oracle stuff (I have done this with SQL*Loader for example), NT Crond will run it.

After you download the evaluation copy and install it, read the following (their FAQ #1)

I have installed NTcrond 2.2, and have verified that the NTcrond service is running, but no jobs will run!

Please check the following -- it's not obvious! Ensure that the account that 'should' have tasks executing, has a little GREEN dot beside it -- NOT RED! Change this by clicking on an account, and the right-clicking the mouse. Then select the "Add to allow list" option. The color or the dot should change to GREEN, and you should begin to see tasks running.

Good luck,
