Why not just use cron for this? Yes, the syntax for this does look a lot cleaner, but cron really isn't that hard to use. Why add another layer of complexity (which may break and be difficult to debug) when you could simply add lines to a crontab?

Bonus feature: "USING THE "—write-crontab" OPTION WILL COMPLETELY OVERWRITE ANY EXISTING CRONTAB ENTRIES!"

Wow. I like Ruby but many in the community's obsession with reinventing the wheel (with slightly more syntactic sugar and a hip github page) is pretty difficult for me to understand.

Very good addition to Rails, truly a missing piece as putting stuff in cronjobs spreads the logic of the app around. This makes it more readable as well.

Lol, I wrote "RailsCron" in 2005-2006. Funny to see how the ruby community iterates.

Cool. I'm in support of any syntax front-end that brings us closer to a future where everyone uses s-expressions for everything. ;P

(it's not s-expressions, but it's a step in the right direction)

nice, but is it possible to use it somewhere else than Rails, like say, Merb or Sinatra?

just bite the bullet and learn to use crontab ffs.

nice sugar though...

Nice, but does it work on Windows?
