Task Scheduler

I imagine what he's looking for is to have the cronjob setup to hit one specific file on the application every minute or 5 minutes, or whatever. Then, the task scheduler is responsible for running the appropriate jobs at the appropriate interval. That way it's all managed within the application and is simple to change and keep consistent between environments since you can commit it to version control, and not have to change the cronjob itself.

I do think this is something that would be quite handy, and I've done several variations on this in the past in my own projects, including the one that is with Sprint, though I'm not 100% happy with that one, honestly. It's been talked about and is one of my "wishlist items" that I think might show up in CI at some point, but not for the initial release of v4.
