Implements a cron like system triggered by page requests. Jobs are executed asynchronously so page load times aren't affected.
Add a job to the CronTab. This should only be done once. Maybe in a requireDefaultRecords() function.
CronTab::add(array(
'Name' => 'Garbage collector',
'Callback' => array('GarbageCollector','collect'),
'Increment' => 600, // 10 mins
'Description' => 'Take out the trash.',
'Notify' => '[email protected]' // Notifies only when something goes wrong.
));Give the CronTab something to call:
class GarbageCollector extends Controller {
public static function collect() {
// Take out the trash.
}

A 2.4.x compatible version is available in the 2.4 branch.
