This could be useful to some people.
No support, only for info.
As background, I was needing to schedule a task regularly so as to work with the StationPlaylist Track Tool via command line parameters.
The Track Tool is very useful to process files for use on a radio station. If you don't use StationPlaylist, still keep reading.
First I tried the Windows Task Scheduler. Everything worked, except that the computer would freeze while the task (which is fairly intensive) was taking place.
Then I tried System Scheduler:

Not only does it work perfectly, but it has very accessible dialogs and list view controls, plenty of shortcut keys, and more. I was very pleased at the way it works.
Of course you can schedule a task to undertake the kind of activity I was wanting to do. The list of tasks not only shows the title but when it was last run, something essential for what I was trying to achieve as I needed to monitor it.
You can also create periodic reminders or scheduled text notes. Those reminders can be snoozed for a period of time before the alert arrives again.
The tasks can be run manually or via the schedule. Manual was also very useful for my testing.
You can create desktop shortcuts for tasks if you did want to run them manually and regularly.
Not that I tried this, but you can also get it to action a series of keystrokes if needed when an application is focused. That was well outside the scope of what I was wanting to do.
Definitely worth giving it a try if you would like to. There is a free and paid version.
