I should have mentioned it in the last email.

I have been using Windows own TaskScheduler so far. What I don't like it
is that it cannot run jobs silently at background, particularly when a job
is a batch file or a bash script. Whenever such a job is started, an annoying
DOS window pops up and it also occupies my taskbar.
