Thanks Nicola and Taher for the responses @Taher - I like the simplicity of the solution and using gradle for dependencies which seems to be missing in the native cron or windows jobs, but one caveat is to maintain two different solutions for Windows and Linux, but since the features are native to the OS, we may still be able to live with this, thanks for including the details
@Nicola - Understood Camel is a great integration option, but for the usecase in hand i'm not able to comprehend how it fits.
