Thus far cron has been the mechanism by which Rattail tasks are scheduled to run automatically.

But there are some potential benefits of a dedicated Rattail scheduler daemon:

can manage/adjust schedule times etc. via web app
avoid "dependency" on both cron and at (e.g. for restarting overnight task)
common setup regardless of platform

Seems like it probably would be a simple thing to create. Although it also feels like reinventing a wheel, so first need to see what else is out there.

Celery seems like an obvious candidate here; downside is that (IIUC) it requires 3 additional services to run:

rabbitmq
celery
celery beat
