Yes, what is wrong with cron? I understand that the tasks which are fired by upstart are nearly the same as the tasks started by cron, so a time based trigger for starting upstart tasks fits for a "do-it-all" solution like upstart. Still I don't like upstart to handle too many things. The unix philosophy is based on having one small tool for one job. If something goes bad with upstart, it will bring your entire system down.
