Seeking alternatives for Crone Jobs.

[binarynpixel]

Hi
I have a site in PHP on IIS 6 and need some sort of scheduling
functionality for sending emails via php scripts, running scripts on
database etc.
I worked a bit with Crone Jobs for this however I was wondering if there
is something better then that. Site is developed in PHP / MySQL and
running on Windows 2003 with IIS 6.
Any help!
