JobRunner is a program that provide an interface for running and monitoring other processes. This can be used for downloading and uploading RSS feeds, for generating and uploading static web pages or anything that need to be run in a specific order.
When JobRunner is started as administrator, the job list is editable from within the application. The application cannot run without a job list. If you don't want to start JobRunner as administrator, the job list can still be edited manually.
The default location for the job list file is:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\JobRunnerJobListFile\jobs.xml
This can be changed by editing the JobRunner.exe.config
file.
