Yes - here's the docs: http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/userguide/sharing.html There is a client.xml and server.xml in Oddjob's root directory to get you started.

With the JMX version, will the server jobs continue to run if the client UI is closed and machine off?

Rob Gordon posted a comment on discussion General

Rob Gordon — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 07:19:10 -0000

Glad to hear you like Oddjob. The idea is that the new front end will allow you to edit jobs just like the Swing UI, however it is proving quite complicated! You can currently use the JMX client/server to edit jobs remotely if that what you require.

I am a huge fan of your OddJob, thank you very much for your work and putting it in the public domain. I have a question about the web front end for the new v1.6 that looks like you are going to release soon. Will that web front end allow for the same task creation/editing that the local install does? Or will it continue to just be a start/stop view into the jobs? My use case is I would like to run my jobs on a remote machine that does not have a UI (Ubuntu server) and control it from my desktop....

It looks like you can't connect to the host/port. Maybe try using telnet to test the connection as suggested here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow/test-smtp-with-telnet?view=exchserver-2019

I was looking for a simple open-source scheduler to do a daily sftp-job, and I found only two products: sos jobscheduler and oddjob, but I think, oddjob is the better choice - really a great work!

Hi, You need to add the class path. java -jar run-oddjob.jar -cp examples/classes -f examples/devguide/hello2.xml should work. Rob.
