Yes this might be useful for some, but I'm not sure it fits my needs. I need half-a-dozen complex triggered events that occur on a regular basis not varied times of similar events (in the sense that all parameters can be read from the text file). I think it would be sufficient for me to just hard-code what I need to do for these varied events (flash led 1 at 9pm; flash led 2 when someone visits your site; display twitter feed (or whatever) when polled. But I will certainly keep your suggestion in mind as it makes it much more extendable.
