To my mind, only in that you have to look through more files to

we would use cfagent is to run scripts at designated times, or
depending on certain circumstances (software release etc...) - is it

run stuff with its own built-ins, or are external scripts just as
welcome in its use?
Well, it seems to me that that usage is just as a glorified Cron,
