To config pmCron you need then to edit Crontabs in the installation directory (and there are examples within this file itself) and the configuration follows how you would set it up on a unix system.

WarpCron might then be much easier to config, since it offers a GUI to set it all up. And offers some other nice features that you won't find in pmCron. Use WarpCron Setup to set up a cron job and it should look something like this:

I hope this solves your problem setting up cron jobs within OS2. If not, let me know where you get stuck.

You might also want to try the following:

Open up an OS/2 Window session.
Assuming that gets you to [C:\], then just type in the
following three lines pressing Enter after typing in each
one:
Copy con mycopy.cmd
copy d:\fer\fbrcode.bcd d:\fer\fbrcode.dat
Exit
At this point your cursor should be at the left side of
the next line, which should be blank if you've typed
correctly. Just press Ctrl-z (the Ctrl key and the z key)
at the same time and then one last press of the Enter
key. You should get a message saying that 1 file was
copied and be returned to the [C:\] prompt.

What you've just done is to build a two-line OS/2 Command
file named C:\mycopy.cmd. In the WarpCron Setup folder Kim referred you to, just use that file name in the "Program" field but change the radio button under "Type" to say "OS/2 Window" rather than "OS/2 PM". You're done!
