does anyone have any good examples with using this, or CRON in general?

edit :

found it at

http://www.nncron.ru/nncronlt/help/help.htm

edit again : found another method of doing this :

Start menu... control panels... scheduled tasks
Add scheduled task... browse... select PHP executable
Go to the new task, right click, properties, then change the 'Run' box to, for example

C:\php\php-cli.exe c:\cygwin\var\www\html\fluentqueue\bgcall.php


you can set it to execute at whatever time or day you want.
