This still isn't really right, and is wordier than it need be. The built-in task 
scheduler in most recent Windowses is called Task Scheduler (!), so the original 
problem was really just one of missing capitalization.  I'd suggest a better solution 
would be:

    "This type of usage is ideal for scripts which are executed
     at scheduled intervals (e.g. using cron on Linux/Unix or Task
     Scheduler on Windows), or simple text processing tasks. See the
     section about ..."

Cheers!
