It is a great plug-in for wordpress. I just visited the site and downloaded the source code. I noticed that the scheduler only work on a "roughly" time. The scheduler only works when someone is browsing your site. Thus, it is not suitable for jobs that need to be executed in a very specific time (e.g. hourly). The plug-in works best on a busy site. The report I mentioned above is for my other website (not this one) which make updates to database and generate report on a daily basis. Anyway, thanks for your comment and suggestion. Ya..

I use it to scheduel weekly backups of my Wordpress DB. It works fine for all plugins running on my site.
