title: Nodejs for cron jobs
body: <p>I have a backbone application where users can make scheduled events. For these events I assume I will need use some type cron scheduling. It would be around 100 jobs ran a day. </p>
  
  <p>From my understanding cpanel use php for crob jobs (or does it?) either way I don't want to use php.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is it possible to have nodejs do some type of scheduling where it will run a particular event (in this case a ajax posts) at scheduled times through out the day for a considerable amount of days in the future?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Also not to be confused with timers where you do some method in a particular amount of hours from now. A better example you be do "xyz" 4pm Monday 2/25/2012</p>
  
  <p>I also wondering would everything reset if the server is restarted.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
