[Typo3-dev] Typo3 alternative to cron (?)

[Suman Debnath]

I don't want to use cron cuz then the extension becomes dependent on an 
external condition which may or may not be present at the point of 
implementation. Ideally all that is required for the extension to work 
should be contained in the extension code itself. I initially thought about 
including the code in ext_localconf, but what if the site is not visited 
during a whole day and that is the day the mail has to be sent out ?

What we are trying to do:
We are assigning some tasks like page update responsibility (not related to 
workflow) to certain BE users and would like to send out a mail when a page 
is nearing update. So we need to check which pages are nearing update and 
then send a mail to the people responsible for the page/s. That should be 
the case even if the site gets no visitors/users.

Thanks in advance,
Suman Debnath
