I use PyCron on Windows which is very similar to Cron.  It works well, 
runs as a service, automatically restarts when Windows starts up and can 
schedule anything.  I use it kickstart a CMD file that sets all the 
environment variables we need and then class the Ruby script we want.

Hope this helps.
