Nothing hypothetical about it. I have been running a couple of
frequently used services like that for about a year.
$ cat /var/service/adm-exec/run
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/admdb/adm-exec 2>&1
exec sleep 300
It's not a replacement for cron jobs that need to run at a specified
time of day, but I find it handy for jobs that need to run regularly
and reliably.
