Also you can make that table as generic as possible, and use it for
every project on the server. It's just a list of emails and what to do
with them, after all. If you want I have code for driving that (but
-get ready- in Windows Scripting Host VBScript!).

I'd basically cheat =) That is, have a webpage handling the 'starting'
of the processes, that actually doesn't do much -- and have a real
cron running every minute. It'd give your user a sense of control, but
honestly, it'd be just smoke and mirrors.

I know, I know... =)
