Hmmmm, my tuppence worth!

IMHO I do not think this should be built into solr. Doing it properly leads to all kinds of nasty platform dependent issues... will we then want to add notification features on success/failure? via email?
Ideally, all the scheduled activities on a system should be centralised 
in one place such as cron, or as few places as possible. From a system 
administration point of view there is then a single locations from where 
everything can be viewed and controlled. There are generally 
dependencies between different activities and having to chase around and 
configure many separate proprietary schedulers is a nuisance as well as 
being error prone.

Hello,

Is there a best way to schedule the DataImportHandler? The idea being to schedule a delta-import every Sunday morning at 7am or perhaps every hour without human intervention. Writing a cron job to do this wouldn't be difficult. I'm just wondering is this a built in feature?
