I saw this and I didn't understand what it is for or how it works.

If it runs on your server then how does it monitor my application? Is there an agent or something? Why is it better than running cron on (say) Google App Engine?

If it runs on my server, then exactly why would I want it? I think I can live with running every 5 minutes or 20 seconds instead of 7 minutes or 17 seconds.

So.. I just don't get it? Where can I read more (without registering)?
