A couple of months or so ago, I had to code some periodic maintenance jobs to be run in-process. So I was faced with the same options that Ayende had a year ago (except the out-of-process options). I finally decided on using Quartz.NET, since I needed the dynamic update capabilities (that is, it watches the config file for changes and re-schedules accordingly) which Castle.Components.Scheduler doesn't have yet as far as I know... (BTW Castle.Components.Scheduler is now part of the trunk).
So I set to code the wrappers needed to make it play with Windsor, and the resulting code is here. There's a sample app that shows how to set up job and trigger listeners (both global and job-specific). The actual scheduling configuration is managed by Quartz.NET of course. In the sample I used the external quartz_jobs.xml config with the default RAMJobStore, but you could easily change that to a ADOJobStore or anything, just by setting the props dictionary on the QuartzNetScheduler component, that dictionary is passed as-is to Quartz.NET.
Why did I write "basic" integration on the title? Well, I just needed the basic features of Quartz.NET, so I didn't even try to integrate stuff like clustering, remote servers, etc. I have no idea if those will work with my code. If anyone gives it a try, I'd love to hear about it :-)
UPDATE 4/3/2009: I wrapped the components in a facility for easier usage and configuration.
