include specific time/date checks in checking options

I use scheduled cron jobs quite often for automating varios different tasks including checking url's at specific times and/or dates. I was wondering if it is possible to add this functionality to simon to allow you to schedule checks at specific times of the day or dates of the year?

Simon includes a scheduler to enable you to perform checks at the desired frequency. You can also use the auto-pause settings to avoid checking when a server is known to be offline (e.g. a periodic reboot).
In the future I plan to add more scheduling options, to enable you to specify specific dates or times. But in the meantime you can do most of such scheduling with the auto-pause options.
