here is how "the big Q" does it.
There are no daemons running, the windows 95 laptop is turned off. We
turn it on to do checkbook stuffs, and start quicken. as soon as we
start quicken, it says to us, via a popup, "such and so a transaction
was scheduled to be run at such and so a time, would you like me to
apply it now?"

no daemons, just ask about them upon startup again. or, we could have
a "gnucash --run-job=1" in my crontab, which would wake up and run job
number one at a specified time (it would add the stock data to my
stock register) if it wasn't already running.
