It's like linux cron but with the following extras:

a) it will work transparently on all platforms (mac&win incl)
b) you don't need root access or user settable crontabs
c) can call web2py controller functions directly
d) allows you to call init/preload/precache functions on web2py
startup
e) allows asynchronous execution of code after a page has been served
