[TYPO3-dev] scheduler and doNotLoadInFE

What Steffen suggests is exactly the same as me. The advantages are:

- only one task registered with the Scheduler
- the "reminder" table can be written from the FE and there's no need to 
enable the Scheduler in FE anymore (which I find better from a 
conceptual point of view).

If it's not too late in your development, I would really encourage to 
take this approach. Of course it's your choice eventually ;-)

Cheers
