Hey, this is perfect! Mind if I commit it? I was wondering about names for a
little while ("cron-style" makes perfect sense to me, but it isn't quite as
discoverable to someone who isn't familiar with the usual unix utilities)..
do you think "Nightly" would make a good name? It isn't limited to nightly
builds, of course, but when someone asks the question of "how to I make
buildbot run a nightly build" and greps around, this one will just jump right
out at them.

thanks!
