Hi Cab

Yes this is accurate, the task scheduler uses at to schedule one off
jobs. If you want to run reports regularly, there is a script to do
that using cron.
The scripts name is
misc/cronjobs/runreport.pl

Here is how to use it
http://perldoc.koha-community.org/misc/cronjobs/runreport.html

So you can set up entries in your crontab to run reports at whatever
intervals you may like.

This is for Koha, so your mileage may vary.
