Several weeks ago Jan Aleman recommended SHC as the way to go.

However I believe some routines should run only when the server is launched, such as a midnight Cron scheduler which does a global reset on all incomplete task records, rolls over tasks scheduled for completion yesterday and reschedules them for today.

I've not been able to locate the 2.2 release notes Jan references (awaiting 2.2's final release?). The above is the only place "deeplinking" is used in Servoy Talk, haven't seen it anywhere else.
I'm just getting my toes wet with SHC. For the time being this is all I want to do with SHC -- establish a CRON which will run a method daily shortly after midnight independent of any end user. Anyone have pointers on this?
