Give me some examples of how this could be used ?

Updating a db isnt a good one either, how do I run it from a sproc .
And Im not going to use xp_cmdshell to run an exe to tell me an update is done.

BTW a windows scheduled task is not a good example. Give me a good example of why I would put this to use ?
