RolandI love cron, but I am mainly (85%) on windows with my apps and want to have a simple and easy setup and not a bunch of applications/services to install. There is just the apache service bringing in php and my pecl. All other solutions I know are much more voluminous and have more errorpoints.Last I checked, Windows has this "at" command, the underpinnings of which are remarkably similar (read: stolen from) the Un*x "at" command upon which "cron" (and Windows "Scheduled Tasks") are built. So you could probably use "at" on all systems reliably, with minor (or no) tweaks to anything. If not, I'm betting that you could bundle an opensource "cron" into your distribution process a heck of a lot faster and more reliably than hacking up a bogus cron-like substance within PHP...
