Publisher's description of Newbie Task Manager

From Newbie Labs:

Newbie Task Manager is a flexible, powerful, multi-purpose task scheduler. The scheduled tasks can be executed at specified times or intervals. They can also be triggered by specified system events.

Editor's review of Newbie Task Manager

• "Newbie Task Manager"

• Version reviewed: Newbie Task Manager 1.81

This powerful task scheduler assumes the burden of repetitive computer tasks, though the program name isn't indicative of the required user level. Newbie Task Manager's functional interface comes with a fairly comprehensive listing of actions to automate. These preloaded sample tasks cover routine operations such as starting and stopping programs, auto log-ons/log-offs, opening the CD-ROM, initiating system backups, and triggering e-mails and reminder messages. Events can be set up to run by a specific time or in the event of a specific action such as a hot key press or at system log-on. Advanced users can effortlessly create new tasks, schedule running times, define other action parameters, and password-protect staged events. Although inexperienced users can feel their ways around Newbie Task Manager, considering the preloaded tasks mentioned we think the program could benefit from a task-creation wizard to complement its Help file. Power users with programming expertise and cyclic system tasks will benefit the most from this effective application.

  Version: Newbie Task Manager 1.81

  "Outstanding Program for automation of a large variety of tasks"

  by pvg19 on March 26, 2006

  Pros: Allows very easy scheduling of a multitude of tasks using an easy to use interface. Can sync files via FTP, send email, backup files, erase files and so much more. The scheduling feature allows for infinite customization. This is one very well thought out program for those who need to automate tasks on a schedule.

  Cons: None. It was what I was looking for and a LOT more. I would highly recommend this program.
