I agree with you than cron is not enough reliable but honestly not sure what else can be used. My point - does not really matter if this batch or task - main thing is make sure that cron started fetching and completed it succesfully (so need some kind of processes manager) This is great point though :-)

Batch scripts are dead since mmmh symfony 1.2 i think? So first of all, this batch logic should be moved into a task. BUT i do not like it there too. I do not like a system which depends on cron scripts. Imagine those scripts are not running due to some bug/problem, then the webseite will show either outdated data or event nothing. I would fetch the rss feeds by runtime and add a caching layer between it. In this case you only do stuff, which is requested and the system does not depend to "external" scripts.
