Tron is a centralized system for managing periodic batch processes and services across a cluster. If you find cron or fcron to be insufficient for managing complex work flows across multiple computers, Tron might be for you.
Tron ships with a setup.py file for installation as well as scripts for building a debian package.
See QuickStart for more details.
Sample configuration files (and man pages) are in the docs/ directory.
Full documentation can be found on the projects Wiki
