Cron and Remote Shell services

Windows Services for UNIX provides two Windows-based services that provide similar functionality to commonly used UNIX daemons. The Windows-based Cron service provides scheduled execution of programs much like the UNIX cron daemon, while the Windows-based Remote Shell service allows remote computers to execute commands on the computer running the service, much like the UNIX rsh daemon.

For information about the Cron service, see Cron service.

For information about the Remote Shell service, see Remote Shell service.

In addition to these Windows-based services, Windows Services for UNIX provides corresponding Interix-based daemons that run under the Interix subsystem. For more information, see cron(1) and rshd(1).
