Announce E-Cron Component - Development already in Beta stage.

[Amigamerlin]

Hello you all.
For those who need a REAL SCHEDULE SYSTEM for Elxis 4.x we are glad to inform you all that we already started to develop E-Cron component. ELXIS 4.3 has a Cron manager that is very rough. In fact it will never assure you that what you cron to start or stop at a certain date / time will published or unpublished at the scheduled right time.
With E-cron you can build a REAL SCHEDULE TIME and the schedule target time will be respected at 99%.
It will let you schedule, Articles, Modules and Menu items too. Included recursive schedule options (look at the screenshots). 
You will get what you need for having a real Schedule system without use your server cronjob every seconds.
It will has log system too and you will be informed on all the schedule activities even with e-mail notification.
Currently it's in beta and will be a commercial product.
Price will be 15€.

Elxis cron system is not a REAL cron jobs system? There is no cron jobs system in the world running every second! The maximum accurancy for linux cron tab is 1 minute. Elxis cron jobs run every 10 minutes which is absolutely fine for the purpose it was designed and for the 99.9% of the sites. If you need higher accurancy (1 minute) you can add it in linux cron tab, Elxis supports that. Good luck with your component, I hope it will be better than the build-in system but dont say that Elxis has no real cron jobs system, because this is wrong.

Note: From your screenshots I see that you have a semi-updated Elxis 4.3 site.

I talked of REAL SCHEDULE SYSTEM not CRON. E-Cron is Commercial name. Cron and SCHEDULE IS NOT TE SAME !!!
ELXIS 4.x CRON IS NOT PRECISE !!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE !!!

I repeat again ... ELXIS 4.x cron It's not precise and very rough. To have something precise I need to use Linux server cron on every 1 minute and on shared Linux server LINUX cron can't be used every 1 minute  (minimum execution cron time 15 minutes) !!!
Then if I schedule a task that MUST start at 17:01:52 It will not start at 17:01:52 if some condition will not become true  (You already wrote in a your previous post about how it works !!!)
For someone this can be ok for some other no . 
Try to ask yourself why we should spend time to replicate a function !!! It is illogical !!!
If we developed our component is because a REAL SCHEDULE function like 2009.x is not present on ELXIS 4.x.
This component is for those need to be ABSOLUTELY sure that what they schedule will execute in the right time.

Moreover E-Cron will have some feature that are not currently supported on ELXIS 4.x : Let you unpublish / published/ and switch from published to unpublished and viceversa  article,item and  menu item. It has recursive schedule too and can schedule more then one item on a single task.
