A Java job scheduler 10 operable in a Java virtual machine 20 is disclosed. The scheduler has an associated task file 40 comprising one or more platform dependent task definitions having associated conditions for execution. The scheduler comprises a thread 12 for monitoring for a change to the task file; and a thread 14, responsive to changes in the task file, for reading the task file and, responsive to the conditions for execution of any one of the one or more tasks being met, spawning a further thread 16 for executing the task.
