The definition also encompasses a few 3rd party tools that have been made
over the years to duplicate and/or improve upon CRON capabilities... some
specifically for win for those who are not fond of the win scheduler.
I prefer a system service, with job setup in a central database, so that the
app and jobs are more easily ported from one computer to another, with less
setup time. Fail-over is easier to handle this way. But for a single PC
need, cron or scheduler is fine.
