I agree, test execution in this way should be driven externally.

I do understand why you *would* need it - we are in the process of building
test automation around WATIR & Ruby, some of these tests have pretty
high latency.

Conceivably some of these test passes could take hours or days to run,
you might need to break them up and run them against several servers
just so that they will complete overnight. In which case you may want
automatic scheduling too.

Still I would prefer to go one better than simple OS-based scheduling.
I would prefer to farm these test jobs out to staging servers directly from
my continuous integration system. Possibly Distributed Ruby could
help here.
