Kronos Scheduling System

                             a.k.a.
                    The Electronic System Manager


The KRONOS system provides an environment for scheduling the submission of
batch jobs that is easier and more functional than the SUBMIT/AFTER command.

Please don't tell my boss how much of the normal system monitoring is now done
by Kronos.  Clever batch jobs can be written to do most any repetitive task
such as checking for excessive errors, monitoring DECNet usage, etc. Some of
the samples included here are actual jobs run on our system.

Full user documentation (and programmer's notes) is available in KRONOS.DOC.
Please forward any bug fixes, enhancements, praise, complaints, etc. to the
undersigned.  See appendix E of the documentation for changes since the last
release.
===============================================================================
The viewgraphs and samples from VA052, "Automating VMS System Management Tasks"
are included.  Use VG program (elsewhere in this release) to recreate viewgraphs
(the viewgraphs are primarily text and may be read using TYPE/MORE/etc).
