Module for scheduling work?
For a module I'm writing, I need a way for end users to be able to schedule tasks to happen (e.g. send out an email). Is there a helper module or PHP class out there that I can use to trigger these tasks being completed, both one time tasks and recurring tasks? Googling has found a few options but none were that satisfactory so I'm curious what other people have used for similar situations.

Kyle, I'm curious how the Rules & Rules Scheduler modules are not handling your needs. (See http://drupal.org/node/298487) Sincerely, -Blake On Dec 14, 2010, at 10:22 AM, Kyle Mathews wrote:

Perhaps because I haven't used it before ;) I'll have to give Rules Scheduler a try. Has anyone used Job Scheduler (http://drupal.org/project/job_scheduler)? -- Kyle Mathews Blog: kyle.mathews2000.com/blog Twitter: http://twitter.com/kylemathews Company: http://eduglu.com On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 2:43 PM, Blake Senftner <bsenftner@earthlink.net>wrote:
