Just learned of timers the other day, but I'm a cron guy, anybody out there using timers? Anything I'm missing out on?

Email support was the bain of my existence. I forgot how many misconfigured system I came across decades ago that would fill up their filesystem with logs from crons in the root mail dir. Such a stupid default setting. We have vastly better methods for monitoring systems these days then firing off an email when a cron runs.
