Yes. Basically that is what it is for. You create a record task_scheduled which tells web2py which function you want to run, its arguments in json, and when it should runs (once, twice, 1000 times, starting now, starting later, every day, etc.) and worker nodes will pick up the tasks when scheduled and do it. Right now it uses admin as a web interface and it works fine but we could come up with something sleeker. It is really easy to try.
