[ajug-members] OpenSymphony Quartz

[Jason Chambers]

I am considering using OpenSymphony Quartz as a replacement for cron. 
The jobs I need to run are data maintenance, purging, reconciliation and 
export type stuff. Today it is a hodge-podge of Java, Pro*C, Korn-shell, 
Perl, C and so on all driven by cron. I want to retire all of this crap 
and standardize on Java.

What are your experiences of using Quartz?
