[erlang-questions] extended timer module to handle absolute time-of-day timers

[Serge Aleynikov]

I don't know of an open source one, but a combination of 
timed_supervisor [1] and erlexec [2] is nearly 90% of what's needed to 
build one.  It's in my plans to create such a job scheduler, but I'm not 
sure yet if it'll be possible to open source it...
