And. conversely, you can drive LC from cron - i.e. to schedule something 
regular, just use cron, and make the cron task be something like

wget https://mydomain.com/index.lc/domynightlytask

so you get to script the task in your usual way (e.g. within 
revigniter), and do the scheduling with cron (generally accessible from 
cPanel as well as shell).
