Not everybody has it's computer running 24hrs a day, and cron lacks the
feature of starting tasks that were skipped. I for my part don't have
to let the computer run if there's no specific task to be done... so
please: don't even think about cron scheduled jobs for system
maintenance... they will just not work as requested
