sure, I get that, especially in regards to procedures. a server
ticker though is a pretty small thing and it's fair to ask if maybe
that should be exposed instead of (or perhaps in addition to) a job
scheduling system.
a userland scheduling system has some advantages -- for example it
could be pulled in as an extension. it would have a very different
feel though since it would be participatory scheduling. i guess it
really depends on who's writing it and what the objective is (if
anyone is willing to rewrite cron into the postmaster, by all
means...)
