I would agree. Using Linux I use cron for all my timed BBBS events.

For a task to be run every 20 minutes I would simply use a crontab line as:

*/20 * * * * /<path to program or script>/ 

You could for example use the cron line to run a backup of all your user
accounts at 5 a.m every week with:

0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/

I have a separate HD mounted as /backups where I backup/archive stuff.
