Skybot Software, a Help/Systems, LLC company, has released Skybot Scheduler 2.0 its Web-based enterprise scheduler and workload automation solution for AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows, and Linux servers.

Skybot Scheduler 2.0 now lets users integrate Microsoft SQL Server jobs into their enterprise schedule, as well as schedule and manage SQL Server jobs. This makes the Skybot Scheduler functionality—reactive scheduling, job history, Dashboard, auditing—available for managing Microsoft SQL Server jobs across your Windows servers.

Skybot Scheduler 2.0 also includes the ability to launch GUI applications on connected Microsoft Windows systems. Users enter a job command to launch a GUI application on a connected server where an operator can enter information. When the application is closed, Skybot Scheduler considers the command a success. This feature is useful, Skybot Software says, when users need to manually enter information into a spreadsheet or modify a file as part of a scheduled job.
