CHRONOS V3	Scheduler for VAX/VMS V3.0
 

        I.  Procedure Description

	CHRONOS  is designed to initiate  the running of jobs at  specified 
	intervals or on particular days and not on other days.  In order to
        facilitate the  batch submittal of jobs for various users, only the
        username of  the active process need be modified, however a  MACRO
        routine  ADMIN.MAR  is provided which can serve as the skeleton of
        username modification executables that modifies the  UIC as well.
        A username macro execution must be provided in CHRONOS to properly
        modify the process username for all scheduled process submissions.

	The procedure  CHRONOS.COM is invoked by SYSTARTUP.COM and at midnight
	thereafter. CHRONOS starts all processes that are due to be run on the
	following day.   A companion procedure  SENTINEL.COM  is provided to
        ensure the successful submission of scheduled jobs by  CHRONOS.
 
	Documentation is provided in [CHRONOS]AAAREADME.DOCREADME.DOC.
