Always happy to see more tools like this - the bigger the toolbox, the easier our lives are.

Of the various approaches I've had to depend on in recent memory, from perl scripts querying a central Db right through to eye wateringly expensive Control-M or Autosys in larger envs, It's plain old cron, fronted by config management (cfengine, puppet, chef, salt - it doesn't matter which) that has proven most dependable, easiest to train others on and simplest to debug.
