| A job scheduler is a program that enables an enterprise
to schedule and, in some cases, monitor computer "batch" jobs
(units of work, such as the running of a payroll program). A job scheduler
can initiate and manage jobs automatically by processing prepared job control
language statements or through equivalent interaction with a human operator.
Today's job schedulers typically provide a graphical user interface and
a single point of control for all the work in a distributed network of computers.
