Hi Yiannakis, You might want to look at TWS - Tivoli Workload Scheduler (or Maestro, as it was formerly, and commonly still is known - it used to be owned by a company called Unison).
It allows for centralised scheduling and monitoring of schedule and job status, allowing for advanced interdependencies and all manner of clever stuff. Here's a link >>> http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/scheduler/ I don't know about cost, and it might be quite heavy to use *just* for TSM backups scheduling, but certainly worth a look I'd suggest?

Is anyone using a third party scheduler under Windows that has a minimum intelligence to: a. Schedule scripts on other servers b. Have interdependencies between schedules c. Cancel schedules depending on timeout values d. Doesn't cost anything ..... :-))))) (just joking) If so, could you please recommend one ?
